Inline rename gone in 4.8//Dolphin 2.0 (and konqueror)

[Gene Smith]

This bug report explains why inline renaming is no longer possible in 
Dolphin (and konqueror too it seems):

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286893

They claim it will be back in the 4.9 KDE and/or Dolphin 2.1. Will F16 
eventually upgrade to these or will it require >=F17?

Opinion: Dropping features and confusing users in mid-stream and then 
promising to bring them back is not good practice.

We generally only do one major update per fedora release cycle, so most 
likely only F17+ will see kde-4.9.x

I share your sentiments. but afaict, the feature was never there in 
kde-4.8.x, and required significant work to implement properly.

Can't we backport the feature?

Yep, it looks like everything is in place. We can try it for sure.
