If you copy or delete from a LIST of urls, the order has no importance at
all...

Say you delete
/tmp/dir1
and
/tmp/dir2

Then the order has no meaning at all.
This is how Copy/Move/Delete with a KURL::List for src urls is usually used.

Calling with /tmp/dir1 and /tmp/dir1/dir2 is very weird - I'm not even
sure we should check for that. At least when using konqy you can't
generate such a call (because those two are in two different windows).
Aah. Hmm. Not in the treeview :-)
