Konqueror's iconview

[Dawit A.]

Hello,

After fixing the keyboard focus loss on rename problem in konqueror's 
iconview, I decided to closely test the behavior of this particular view to 
see if there are other similar problems lurking around. Here is what I 
discovered:

1.) Wrong item receives keyboard focus (little rubber band around icon) when 
switching back to a previous directory using the back button. To see this, go 
to your home directory in icon view mode. You will probably see that the 
first item will have the keyboard focus. Then click on a sub directory icon. 
Now press the Back button. The item that has the keyboard focus is not the 
first item at all even though konq_iconview.cc on line 892 does this:

m_pIconView->setCurrentItem( m_pIconView->firstItem() );


A debug statement shows that the iconview for some reason sees this item as 
being the first item. A KDirLister issue ???

2.) The second issue can be explained by this bug report: 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79370. This problem also afflicts KFile 
so the problem might be outside of Konq's icon view. Perhaps in KIconView 
itself or KDirLister again ???

Anyways, before I waste my time trying to look into these problems, is someone 
else working on them ? Or perhaps these are known issues addressed or to be 
addressed elsewhere (read: in Qt) ?
