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.
The attached patch sets the main window on the main directory
lister in DolphinView and KIO jobs in DolphinMainWindow to ensure
that login data for remote protocols such as sftp, ftp are cached
properly for the duration of the application. Otherwise, the end
user is going to end up being unnecessarily re-prompted to enter
password login information.
Thanks to Dawit Alemayehu for the patch!

Aligning the control-button to the right of Dolphin has the problem
that sub-menus might be opened on the left of the menu if the Dolphin
window reaches the right of the desktop. So the toolbar-spacer has
been removed and a default label has been applied to the control-button
to increase the target-area for opening the menu.
Use a cleaner approach to prevent item animations when showing
a hidden tab the first time. For Dolphin > 2.0 the tab-code should
be refactored from DolphinMainWindow and encapsulated into an
own module (but well, this is on my TODO-list since KDE SC 4.4...)
Until now the shortcuts of the Panel actions could not be changed
as they did not show up in the "Configure shortcuts..." dialog.
The patch is based on the work of "SiegeLord" and Fabian Henze
attached to bug 273050.

- Open the context menu on the mouse-press event, not on the
mouse-release event.
- Provide an explicit position-information and don't use
QCursor::pos(). This fixes the issue that opening a context-menu
by the keyboard opens below the cursor.
- Provide different signals in the KItemListController for
the different context-menu types (item vs. view vs. header).
- Implement turning on/off roles by the header-context-menu.
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.
A possible crash in one Dolphin window should not result in crashing
other Dolphin windows. Beside this it also prevents issues with
modal dialogs or notifications.

It got accidently lost during the menu-button changes. Also the
clearStatusBar() calls have been removed as this is handled in the
DolphinViewContainer internally since a long time already.
Use a similar default UI like in Rekonq and other browsers: Hide the
menubar and add access to all actions by a button in the toolbar.
Of course it is still possible to show the menubar so that the same UI
is given like before.
"Move to trash (del)" action gets replaced by the "Delete (shift del)" action and replaced back to "Move to trash (del)" when you release
shift.
