I'm fine with this change for 4.2. Maybe Rafael (see CC) could comment on this 
too, as he has also contributed a lot of fixes in this area.

The problem with kdiroperator/kfilewidget is that we currently have no real 
maintainer. I only did some porting + bugfixing for kfilewidget/kdiroperator 
for 4.0 -> please just consider my comment as an opinion :-)
