NetAccess::statInternal and showing job progress

[Aaron J. Seigo]

hi ...

NetAccess::statInternal is a private method and is used by calls to the 
NetAccess methods for stat and exists. if the url is remote, it shows job 
progress. this means that for every file that is stat'd or checked for 
existene over the network (e.g. fish), we get a job notification.

this results in apps like ksnapshot, when used to save to a remote location, 
throwing up job notifications on start up.

it also means causing a lot of traffic in the job UI server infrastructure 
just to show what is, imho, fairly uninteresting information to the user.

i have a simple patch here which changes this:

Index: ../kio/kio/netaccess.cpp
===================================================================

 {
   d->bJobOK = true; // success unless further error occurs
-  KIO::JobFlags flags = url.isLocalFile() ? KIO::HideProgressInfo : 
KIO::DefaultFlags;
+  KIO::JobFlags flags = KIO::HideProgressInfo;
   KIO::StatJob * job = KIO::stat( url, flags );
   job->ui()->setWindow (window);
   job->setDetails( details );


is there any pressing reason to show the progress info for stat/exist checks 
on remote files? i'd like to commit this and backport if there is consensus.
