Clicking on the same spot on screen doesn't always result in the same
effect either. It depends on what is there.

For KDE, I found out that they actually /do/ have it by now... just need
to switch off alphabetical sorting...
Heck, how many config options do they have?!? This is frightening :-)

Not really. It just seems to be non-default...

... though it may technically be realized via a "full-screen plasmoid"
of course.

No, you don't scroll it - you "page" it.

Okay, you don't want to get my point. Fine. Just tell me where I can get
rid of that behavior.

True, it wasn't removed, you have to go into the desktop settings and
change the type back to "Folder View" and that restores the "classic"
style.

Ah, by the way: Does someone know how to disable that with KDE4? It
seems full of options, but this one doesn't seem among them.

Sorry again Andrel, it is not really an acronym but /strine/ (Australian
slang) that has passed into British English. The acronym is POHM
(Prisoner Of His Majesty) and the most common usage is “whinging pommy
b*st*rd”

Wow, they do.

Be glad you didn't try KDE 4.0. There were *so* many options *missing* that
KDE3.5 did have...

Yeah, I've never heard anyone else complain either. But I tried to do something
very specific that I considered trivial, and it couldn't do it. I invested some
time trying to find the "right" way to do it, and the answer seemed cumbersome.
So I threw it out and used something else :)
