I am a real usability professional, and the user is
never going to pay attention to security decisions when
he is trying to make task related decisions, and will
resist when asked to do so.

Yes, drag, drop, and mysteriously vanish.  It is a big
problem.

Where should we put access to the undo queue for file
moves, copies and deletes (delete being a move to the
trash)?  Any suggestions?
