Review request for kdelibs and David Faure.


Changes
-------

Updated patch.


Description
-------

The attached patch fixes a bug where the contents of the clipboard are prematurely updated during a cut and paste operation. In the process I also discovered that undoing the operation does not update the clipboard either. Hence that too is fixed by this patch.

Please note that this patch does not address all the cases where the content of the clipboard is not updated after a KIO operation. More specifically the clipboard content will be out of sync if the user performs the following operations:

- copy/cut a file or a directory and rename it
- copy/cut a file or a directory and move it
- copy/cut a file or a directory and delete it.

In fact there is a ticket for the copy/cut and rename file/directory scenario (bug# 134960). 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.


This addresses bug 318757.
