There is no reliable way to get this information. When the user renames the 
file in konqueror or with KDesktop you will get the signals that David 
mentioned, but when the user renames the files on the command line the only 
information that KDirWatcher gets is that one file disappeared and that 
another one appeared at roughly the same time.

KDirLister might have enough information to be able to reconstruct that this 
was actually a renaming of a file, but at the moment I don't think it does.

Cheers,
Waldo
