How did you find this? And is this a DCOP signal or a signal directly from 
KDirLister? I haven't had a look at the code yet...

Yes, indeed. KDirLister only emits refreshItems if the item exists already and 
was changed (name, size, etc...). However, I'm quite sure KDirLister does 
this properly, so I'm not sure where the refreshItems comes from.

Hm?! That sounds like a really bad solution. And remember that it is the 
io-slave that will send the entries and KDirWatch that signals changes to a 
directory. KDirLister only works on this information, so I'd first check that 
this information is correct. BTW, I've got my last exam on Thursday, so until 
then I won't investigate further on this.
