 Note that many people find the feature rather useful (well, or rather, they 
used to complain a lot about the lack of it :) ), and since it was new in 
KDE3.2 it still had some rough edges there. When you upgrade to a newer KDE 
version one day you might want to consider reenabling it (or at least not 
lock the setting for it).
