Review request for kdelibs.


Changes
-------

Whitespace--

As a word of note. I guess Qt creator sucks for detecting whitespaces. Hopefully I can use kdev4 from now on, as it is superior to any ide, and kate has an awesome detector for whitespaces...


Summary
-------

Hello,

This merge request is for the changes I have done (on my branch), along with other changes(but those are just waiting for this review).

The branch was for a project that I have done; displaying the job progress on the file/folder icons. It essentially shows the status, as in whether or not there is a job being performed on a certain dest. url, if there is, a download icon will be shown at the corner, with an animation(circles rotating around a focal point), to show that a transfer is happening (download, copy, etc..). 

It should be pretty subtle, but may need some tweaking.


I don't really like the KDirModel::setDisplayJobTransfers(bool), and KFileItemDelegate::setDisplayJobTranfers(bool). They sound terrible imo, and seem to go against Nice API Design, but I use them for lack of a better name. Hopefully you guys have some suggestions?

Naturally those 2 method properties are off by default, the individual apps should turn it on at their discretion. I will probably do that for Dolphin and the Folderview plasmoid.


There was some oddity that I experienced, that seemed like an impossibility (then again, lots of bugs do). It wouldn't stop displaying that a job was happening, but I tracked it down and if anything it would have been the sender (kuiserver)'s issue. But I've tested kuiserver quite rigorously...I'm thinking it is just some problem dealing with the *major* version differences I am running.. *shrug*


I can no longer test this branch with my system, as I run trunk and running this really old checkout side by side...well, that was a pain I am not going to go through again, as apps were crashing so often etc.. and I *still* don't have my plasma's desktop activities back up and running, only 2 system monitors on the desktop :)


Once it's committed to trunk, I should be able to quickly verify and track down any issues...
