RE: Deleting local files from IDE client.

Are the files being checked in unchanged?  If so, there are a combination of
options settings (and solar flare activity of course) that would cause this
to happen.

1. The option setting to checkin unchanged files is set to Undo Checkout.
2. The last time you undid a checkout, you set the option to delete the file
after the undo.

In 1.2, we don't have a global option for what to do on Undo, so the IDE
uses the setting you last used.  You would need to check out a file and then
undo it from the GUI client to see what it is currently set at.  And, yes,
this bit of boneheadery has been fixed for the upcoming 2.0 - what to do on
Undo will be a global option that is available from within the IDE.
