Yes.

If we know the target is a dired buffer, we can then accept the
action that the source sends us (XdndActionCopy or XdndActionMove)
instead of always using XdndActionPrivate and to the right thing
for each action.

The types text/uri-list, text/x-moz-url, FILE_NAME and _NETSCAPE_URL all
can have file:// URLs. text/uri-list is the one XDND and the
freedesktop
organization wants everybody to use. text/x-moz-url is used by mozilla
and newer netscape. FILE_NAME is used by the OpenWindows protocol (and
maybe older programs that don't do XDND, but Motif or OpenWindows),
_NETSCAPE_URL are older netscape (4.x and older).
So the file code is just handling the file:/// URLs.
