Try nemo and / or Konqueror. With nemo, F3 splits window into two panes. Change 
the focus on the second pane to the destination folder. Highlight file(s) on 
the source pane. Right-click on highlighted files and see move-to and copy-to 
options. Alternatively, use the menus.

Konqueror has similar functionality. While it is a KDE app, out can be 
installed and used under Xubuntu.

If you haven't learned keyboard tips for selecting, now's a good time to learn.

icon, I gets lots of options that I don't use, but moving the file to
a
different location is not an option.  Is there a fix for this?
