Hi there,

I have been using gnome for a short time, and I noticed if you try to 
move a directory (across file-system) to a place where there is not 
enough space, you get a "not enough space" error message, and the move 
operation does not even begin.

OTOH, in kde, your file transfer will fail in the middle, leaving you 
with two disjoint directories, each one in a different filesystem, which 
you'll have to recompose by hand.

It seems to me this problem can be solved at a very low level, without 
adding new logic to konqueror: KIO::move, KIO::trash etc should do such 
a preliminar check and fail, with a dialog box, if there is not enough 
space.

What do you think?
