I used the renamedialog.cpp file from trunk, so I have noticed the changes. I quite like the changes myself, and I believe you have made the most recent change yourself.

"What, exactly do the changes do? "

There were two issues in the bug report:
1. The dialog window should not have be blocking all of the dolphin instances (or really anything) - that was fixed in KDE 4.5 I believe.
2. The textbox the user uses to change the name of the file that is being copied/moved was in a confusing place and that if "someone overlooks
the top text" they may end up renaming the wrong file.

#1 was fixed in 4.5. #2, I believe was change for 4.5 or 4.6, but a bit more clarification of the window was needed. See my comment to David below.
