This patch removes {nav Root} from the default Places panel for new installations, for the following reasons:
- It's redundant; you can still get to {nav /} on your machine in one click using the appropriate disk entry on the bottom of the Places panel.
- The {nav Root} item shows up in red, indicating its danger. Dangerous items are probably not a good idea to show by default, especially not right next to safe items such as {nav Home}.
- It's not very useful. On Linux systems, messing around with {nav /} is discouraged, and Dolphin doesn't even yet have the ability to modify files and folders there anyway even if the user wanted to; it's purely read-only. The usefulness of such a thing is questionable.
- By removing it, we gain room to add something more useful such as a Recently Used item (see D7446) without making the Places panel show a vertical scrollbar with Dolphin's default size.
Depends on D16653
