There are plenty of problems, centered on KDirWatch class problems (in catalog 
manager) and on Berkeley database problems (KBabelDict, so therefore visible 
in the editor).

If you can fix the KDirWatch problem, I would not mind. (In shirt: when 
KDirWatch is triggered, the watch must be destroyed and re-created for the 
triggered file/directory.)

I am surprised that somehow what you describe seems to be completly different 
than KBabelDict. I do not mind that you would change KBabelDict to use SQL 
(avoid using a particular backend, see below) instead of Berkeley.

Personally, I would prefer if the general SQL features in Qt could be used and 
not a precise backend. (We had already enough problems with Berkeley, it 
would be better if we could switch when necessary.)

No idea.
