SUMMARY

If a Dolphin window is in a directory that is deleted, Dolphin moves the user
to the grandparent directory of that deleted directory rather than the parent.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Dolphin, go to directory X
2. In another process (such as konsole), delete directory X
3. Observe how Dolphin moves the user when Dolphin notices the directory is
deleted

OBSERVED RESULT

When a Dolphin window is in a directory that is deleted, Dolphin automatically
moves the user to the grandparent of the deleted directory instead of the
parent

For example, I created a directory called testdir in $HOME
Under testdir, I created directory test1
Under test1, I created directory test2

If I navigate to test2 in Dolphin then delete test2 in another process, Dolphin
reports: 
Current location changed, '$HOME/testdir/dir1' is no longer accessible.

Then I am moved to $HOME/testdir. Yet I see dir1 in $HOME/testdir and I can
access $HOME/testdir/test1.

Similarly, if I deleted $HOME/testdir/test1 ($HOME/testdir still exists),
Dolphin would redirect me to $HOME instead of $HOME/testdir.

EXPECTED RESULT

Dolphin should drop me in the location nearest to the directory that was
deleted.

In the above example where $HOME/testdir/test1/test2 was deleted, it should
drop me in $HOME/testdir/test1 instead of testdir since $HOME/testdir/test1
still exists.
