In my case both files were on nfs mounts on my in-house web server. With KDE 
2.1.1, it is impossible to trample a file during a drag and drop if the two 
windows are viewing directories on your local machine. However, in my case 
both windows were mounted directories (e.g., 
/mnt/sites/jobvillage.com/groupit/themes/).

I don't know how you would detect if they are the same file but don't think 
it matters if the logic simply went ahead and used the same process as in a 
downloading file (*.part) then this trampling would not occur. In this case 
it would overwrite itself safely.
