Nice work. I commited this with some changes:
* Move up all code to FMDirectoryView so that the same code can be used
from the list view
* Fix up the list view to use this
* Made the default drag action from mozilla be ASK
* Fixed problem with desktop file naming when creating links to e.g.
http://foo/. (it got slashes in the filename).
* Don't use the desktop window as parent for the ask dialog, as it then
ends up on all desktops.
* Some changes to the wording on the ask dialog
* Fixed a bunch of bugs that testing this in various ways exposed
