Thats correct, thats why kdirwatch implements it, instead of having to 
duplicate that functionality in each application that needs it :-)

There are some other limitations of the Qt classes. Thats why I don't think it 
makes sense to use it by default - even though it provides a slightly nicer 
API. The API could have been cleaned up (well, not now anymore).
