While I generally agree with your answer to the previous mail, I can not 
confirm this: The current interface lacks a lot of possibilities compared to 
the 1.4 one, even if you create a custom layout - which is much harder than to 
just disable/show columns and drag'n'drop them to the correct width. I 
described this in a bug report at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191705, 
trying to do constructive criticism, but that was obviously not welcome.

Kind regards,
Ralf Jung
