I think you're right, but I haven't been able to determine what.  There's a 
routine called connectView.  The first thing it does is to save the current 
view settings, then load them into the new view.  Since the initial view is 
KFile::Simple, this always means the new view will be KFile::Simple.  
Changing the constructor to set KFile::Default instead of KFile::Simple works 
around this problem.

This problem does not occur in the 3.5 branches, so something changed in 
trunk.  I will try to figure out what.
