This is unlikely to happen in the near future.

This is impossible because deleting and other file operations are
handled by KIO. This part of kdelibs also shows confirmation dialogs,
"File exists already" dialogs, etc. So we have to change the global
setting that controls KIO's behaviour.

This would be the best solution from my POV. I don't quite see why
there could be a race condition though.

Cheers,
Frank
