I read this urbanlizard stuff. It is very interesting. But I also
remember how I used to get infuriated because Konqueror created a
.directory file on remote servers to store thumbnails and directory
metainfo. I don't think I like the idea of sprinkling hidden files about
remote file systems. Especially when those files are trashed! Consider
this:

* I delete a file which contains a password or other sensitive data
* the file is still there, on the remote filesystem and possibly in a
web-accessible directory.
