Just to do some nitpicking: This is the most useless dialog I had to  
see in GUI-based file managers as of yet.

Reason for the very existence of the Recycler/Trashcan is, you don't  
loose anything in both cases and with or without the dialog. Just  
move the files back if you accidently grabbed the wrong ones.
