Serious problem in KDE filemanager.



This is a warning to anyone running KDE beta 3 (and maybe other versions).

In the filemanager, if you select all files, and tell it do delete,
it really deletes EVERYTHING, including "..", the parent directory!

i.e.  If you do this in a subdirectory of your home directory, KDE 
will delete your entire home directory and everything below it!!!

A friend of mine found this out the hard way!
I just confirmed it with test directories on SuSE 5.2.
