*sigh* I forgot to commit my changes before I generated the diff this time. This was the original patch I was wanted to post. Not the one I should have uploaded this time around. I guess the 3rd will be the charm.

However, addressing these issues require a careful consideration of how to do it since delete/rename/move operations can be done outside of KDE's control. Do we simply fix the KIO jobs to handle this or do we address it the KDirWatch level so we catch all the scenarios? Probably the latter. Anyhow, that can wait until for the 134960 fix.
