Nobody replied to this message at kde-devel, so I try again at kde-core-devel.

I tested this patchset and made some corrections based on Aaron's feedback.
If nobody will reply till Sunday 18:00 CEST I will interpret this as an OK and
commit my changes, because the message freeze will take effect on Monday.

the message freeze will take effect ...

... but they address an important usability issue
(see Aarons comments below...).

the msg freeze isn't in effect until the 30th...

http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.1-release-plan.html

we are in a feature freeze, but i think this addresses an important usability
issue and it doesn't actually add a new feature, it just allows users to
control it ...
