SUMMARY
***
When dragging and dropping an existing location, esp. the home-folder (or
other) entry to the trash-location, dolphin moves and / or deletes files, even
the userspace, when its the home-folder. You could not expect from a new user
to know, what power he has in its hands. locations should be like bookmarks,
meaning if you drag a location to the trash, one would expect the
location-'bookmark' is deleted, not the real files.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. produce a location '~' 
2. drag this location to the trash-location 
2.1. and / or rename it to 'XYZ' beforehand –– what could end up in a rename
not only of the location-'bookmark' but the whole userspace-folder
3. have fun with a borked system

OBSERVED RESULT
severe problems with the system

EXPECTED RESULT
deletion / rename of the 'place'-placeholder / -reference only, not the
referenced files
