Anyhow: Please just let me rebase the patch myself so that I can catch all cases - I'll push the patch to master during the next days.

I forgot to update kde-baseapps before creating the patch. :(  As far as not being aware of resolving password caching issues this was, I guess that is my failure for not informing people about such things. I will have to start blogging about such issues in the future. Anyhow, I will let you deal with it.

After all KDirLister itself relies on KIO itself. Why not simply use QDir::entryList or QDir::entryInfoList ? Since ioslaves are run in a different process, the fact that those two functions are blocking functions won't much matter.

Regarding the KDirLister using in the filenamesearchprotocol: The reason that I did it this way was that it should be possible to also do a search e.g. on a ftp-repository. Are there technical reasons or risks when doing it this way? I initially was unsure whether this can work at all, but it turned out to run very smooth.

> The attached patch sets the main window on the main directory lister in DolphinView and KIO jobs in DolphinMainWindow to ensure that login data for remote protocols such as sftp, ftp are cached properly for the duration of the application. Otherwise, the end user is going to end up being unnecessarily re-prompted to enter password login information.
