Yes, and that appears to be the wrong dialog box since it offers the options:

	Skip
	Auto Skip
	Overwrite All

that are not needed.

Must be wrong about this.

However, I find that an overwrite resulting from renaming a folder is still 
allowed and still doesn't work.

I will revert my CVS of KDE_3_3_BRANCH to 3.3.1 and see if it is different.

To clearly state the problem.

When *moving* a directory, or directories that will result in an overwrite, the 
dialog box does not contain the meta data.

With one directory the dialog box is missing:

	Overwrite

With multiple directories the dialog box is missing:

	Overwrite
	Overwrite All

When *copying* a directory that will result in an overwrite the dialog box has 
these extra buttons:

	Skip
	Auto Skip
	Overwrite All

When *copying* multiple directories the dialog box is 100% correct.

This is with the current 3.3 BRANCH.

I will revert kdelibs/kio/kio and see what this changes.
