That's maybe a problem: when a kio_slave changes to a directory it also can 
lock a mounted volume. In the case of the ftp slave the behaviour can become 
quite odd as you will eventually open at least two ftp slaves if you download 
something. As a result deleting a folder can become a problem (one slave may 
still have it as it's current working dir).

It was not clear to me how to repair that in kio_ftp. A slave could try to 
change back to the initial directory - but that wouldn't help always. Other 
slaves could have a similar problem.

So it's not necessarily DNOTIFY that lock a volume?
