Hm, I think I was too enthusiastic with my initial "please commit" suggestion. Yes, the polling topic is really a problem. Dolphin currently already does a polling each 10 seconds to update the capacity bar in the status bar. Having a second unsynchronized polling in the Places Panel is really something that must be prevented.
