Fix crash when dropping URLs on the URL navigator's drop down menus

The problem was that the files were copied/moved inside the nested event
loop of the drag, which caused problems if the "File exists" dialog was
shown.

The solution is to make the copy/move operation delayed, such that it is
executed in the main event loop.

Note that dropping files on these menus does apparently not work at the
moment when using the Oxygen style (see bug 310016).
