Are you aware that Hamster also requires restart before "run as root" is applied? You can tell if it's really running as root by looking at the window title (it should say "Hamster Filer (root)").

As long as it uses QFile for removing files (but that might change) -- no, error reporting is very scarce there. Yeah, FileBox warns you, but it deals with that by trying to create an empty file next to the one which should be deleted. I don't like such approach, and it's still just guessing.
