The slot DolphinViewContainer::focusView(), introduced in commit
2f0114730d, is actually unnecessary
because DolphinViewContainer::requestFocus() provides the same
functionality already.
The regression has been introduced when hiding the DolphinDirLister
inside KFileItemModel. Now the signal urlIsFileError() gets forwarded
to the container again where the file will be opened.

The places-entries for searching revealed some serious issues in
combination with the search-panel. Move the filtering away from
QDockWidget and bring it back below the search-bar.
See http://agateau.com/2011/04/21/kde-ux-2011/ for more details.
This simplifies the statusbar in Dolphin a lot and allows to
do a proper eliding in case if status-messages are too long: In
this case a tooltip will show the whole status-message (thanks
to Wolfgang Mader for the initial patch!).
There is still missing some finetuning but the general approach
seems to work quite nice.

- Move all private headers from the kitemviews-directory into
the 'private' subdirectory.
- Get rid of DolphinDirLister and just use a directory-lister
internally in KFileItemModel.
- Minor interface-cleanups for signals
If the sorting is done for data which is resolved asynchronously
(e.g. rating), it is important to give a visual feedback about
the state of the sorting. This is done now by a progress
indication in the statusbar.
Also optimizations for "Sort by type" have been done: Although
resolving a type can be expensive in the most often case it is a
very cheap operation. So it the sorting is done by type, try
to resolve the type synchronously for at least 200 ms to prevent
a asynchronous resorting. This is usually sufficient to have
resolved types even for directories with several thousands of
items.

Dolphin 2.0 will get a new view-engine with the
following improvements:
- Better performance
- Animated transitions
- No clipped filenames due to dynamic item-sizes
- Grouping support for all view-modes
- Non-rectangular selection areas
- Simplified code for better maintenance
More details will be provided in a blog-entry during
the next days.
Please note that the code is in a very
early alpha-stage and although the most tricky parts
have been implemented already very basic things like
drag and drop or selections have not been pushed yet.
Those things are rather trivial to implement but this
still will take some time.
If the Search Panel is shown outside the context of the "Find" mode it
will be always enabled and does a global search. Only if the user is in
the "Find" mode and the searching is restricted to the current directory
the Search Panel might get disabled if the current directory is not
indexed. This solves the major usability issue that it was not clear
for the users whether a global or restricted search is done.
When the selection is changed using the cursor keys, the statusbar
should be updated. Until now, this didn't actually happen directly after
an operation ending in a OperationCompletedMessage, because the
OperationCompletedMessage was protected.
This patch changes the behaviour to only protect ErrorMessages in the
ViewContainer. When an OperationCompletedMessage was issued very
recently, it keeps being protected by DolphinStatusbar itself.
Statusbar updates in the ViewContainer are only triggered by
a) user actions (move keyboard focus, enter something in the filter bar)
b) finished filed jobs
In case a), the update is desired, also overriding
OperationCompletedMessages.
In case b), the OperationCompletedMessage issued by the file command is
issues so shortly before the call to updateStatusBar, that the
DolphinStatusBar skips the message anyway (see
DolphinStatusBar::setMessage).

makes it possible to restore the expanded folders in the Details View
when navigating in history (based on r1056438 and r1079843).
Also remove DolphinView::activateItem(const KUrl&) and DolphinView's
m_loadingDirectory member (they are not needed any more).
This will be in KDE 4.5.

Before 3. can be implemented in Dolphin itself, some changes in

- Don't connect to KDirLister::itemDeleted(const KFileItem&), but KDirLister::itemsDeleted(const KFileItemList&). Otherwise Dolphin is informed about each single file deletion instead of getting the deleted items as a list. Thanks to David Faure for the hint!
- DolphinViewContainer::updateStatusBar() can be expensive when a lot of files are selected, as the file size must get retrieved. Assure that fast calls for updateStatusBar() don't trigger a synchronous update, do the update after 300 ms where no further update has been triggered.
- Dolphin provides a list of file items when emitting the selectionChanged() signal. Collecting the file items is a quite expensive operation, so use the same approach as when updating the statusbar: only emit the selection changed signal when no change has been done within 300 ms. This improves the performance when doing huge selections a lot.
- Make updateStatusBar() a private method, the main window should not need to take care about updating the statusbar (this is done internally now by DolphinViewContainer).
