[lug] File replace thought

A bit generic, maybe, but as I was moving files in Windows I got the
odd "do you want to replace this file" dialog box.  It has the date
stamps and file sizes in it.

What I realized is that what I /really/ want to know, is "are the
files different?"  Does KDE or Gnome do something similar, or with an
embedded diff call?  The next time someone on the list is designing a
file replace UI, please remember diff.  :)
