I agree. However there are a couple of things:
1. Last time this came up, the suggestion was that this shouldn't be turned on 
by default. At least, it needs to be able to be disabled.
2. Just doing it for a couple of versions is wrong. If it works for some 
dialogs, it needs to work for them all.

Perhaps we don't want to do this for 3.5 (certainly not without an 
off-by-default), because of the change in behaviour. Maybe just do it for 
KDE4.
