Okay I run one test on this and it does not make sense.  Since we now use
KComboBox in konqy,  I trapped the "Delete" key after manually performing the
delete action.  I returned from the ::keyPressed method consuming the event
( e-accept() ).  However I get the same result, i.e. it tries to delete the
entry in the icon-view.  I do not understand why the event propagation would
first get to the icon-view when the combobox has focus!!!  Is this a focus
management problem in Qt ???  I am still investigating.  We definitely need to
get rid of this problem as I remember this issue from the days of kfm...
