Hi, all
      I found a problem concerning devicenotifier and dolphin. the 
scenario is quite easy to produce,
when you plug in a flash drive, devicenotifier applet popup and you 
click it and open with file
manager ( dolphin ),  it shows mounted state in dolphin. then you click 
devicenotifier to unmount
it. now dolphin keeps the view of dity content. I believe the problem is 
that no device change event
reports, so dolphin has no idea how to do this nicely.
      In the middle of my fix, I found another related problem of 
dolphin. it's also quite easy to show .
You just click flash drive icon on the places panel in dolphin to mount 
it, and right-click and choose
'safely remove' to eject it, then click it again. At this time, no mount 
activated any more.

I made some changes to kdelibs/kfile and then dolphin to make it all 
work. Is it ok to commit, or any suggestions ?

ps: I've made changes against kde 4.3.x, I believe it applies to trunk too.
