I thought we discussed this and came to the conclusion that directories in the 
cache should not be dirwatched. Just store the mtime somewhere. When someone 
requests a directory listing from the cache, compare the last mtime with the 
current one and either deliver or renew the listing.

It would be bad if KDirLister kept watching and reloading directories that are 
solely living in the cache and nowhere used.

Or did I forget some detail?
