It will be more logical if a test is done before that a user attempts to modify a file name in Konqueror.

For example, if someone tries to rename a file from the kio protocol "settings:/" or another one ("fonts:/", "tar:/", "bzip2:/"...), it IS normal for him that it's impossible to rename something, so I think that a test has to be done before he tries to rename it, to disable renaming operations.

For the moment, there is only a dialog box which inform us that the protocol does not manage this kind of operation, so why not totally disabling renaming (and sometimes deleting) for some protocols.

Dolphin disables the rename functionality in this case.
