Not sure I understand. KonqIconViewWidget::startImagePreview reads
a config file to know if previews have been globally enabled or disabled
(for this protocol). What about doing the same when popping up a tooltip?
(KConfig caches the value anyway, no need for caching it in konqiconviewwidget).

Keep in mind that KonqIconViewWidget is shared with KDesktop... which doesn't
have nor need a KonqPropsView.
