This would require additional information for each error message (e.g. an enum value like `DirectoryLoadingFailed`, `PastingFailed`, ...) which can then be used for hiding the error message e.g. when reload (call hide with `DirectoryLoadingFailed` and if a message of this type is shown it will be hidden) or another paste action (call hide with `PastingFailed` and if a message of this type is shown it will be hidden) succeeded.

Well I guess it was added in order to "clean" the view upon pressing F5 (which imho is a good feature, I think I used it more than once).

What about using a boolean flag to store whether the message widget has been shown? KMessageWidget has a showAnimationFinished signal which should do the trick.

Since we already have a slot connected to the `directoryLoadingCompleted()` signal, we can use to it to check whether the message widget has finished the animated show (instead of connecting this signal to `KMessageWidget::hide`).
