Unless we are talking of completely different things it works just fine here 
too. The tree view does indeed show me hidden files if i ask it to. And i am 
able to select ~/.kde/Autostart without typing in.

As i said i am able to select it in here. Did you miss seeing the option to 
show hidden files? Right click in the treeview and you should see the option.
