that's right. If porting would be easy, I would have done it myself and
committed it instead of putting the obsolete warning into the header
file ;)

yes: don't use such a mapping. It is unnecessary. and btw it is faulty,
as the mapping may change when the sort order is changed by the user.

I know libkfile relies on such a mapping. I tried to fix it for some
hours, but ended up deleting the modifications and put a "redesign the
way libkfile tries to handle the files" on my TODO list.

Note that currently libkfile rebuilds the list whenever sort-order is
changed. QListView makes that obsolete.
