I specifically tested it with a move operation (in Konqueror) as described 
above. It works and has always worked for me with KDE 3.x. I am 
'overwriting' (not exactly the right term since the content that has been in 
there before remains there) a folder "fonts" that includes a file "test0" 
with a folder "fonts" that includes the files "test1" and "test2". The result 
is a folder "fonts" that has the files "test0", "test1" and "test2" in it.

I get a rather simple dialog with "rename" and "overwrite" as options. When I 
do a copy with the same terms I get a more verbose window - but that's not 
the problem discussed. Still it works. not creating a subfolder or something.
