Yes I am..

CVS from today.. Rebuild from CVS every other day.

devices:/ is great, but it doesn't fullfill my needs for the following 
reasons:
1. No link to home-dir
2. Too crowded names on the disks
3. Too many devices shown (I have 9 nfs-fs' mounted)
4. No way to use in the sidebar (last, but not least)

I managed to get what I want by using 'X-KDE-TreeModules=Virtual", but this is 
not optimal because of the following "limitations":
1. No way to view all the devices and links in the normal view, I can only see 
it in the sidebar
2. No way to make top-level dirs that contain different links (like a 
"Machine-name" dir that contains links to my hd's and my home-dir, the 
"Desktop" dir I want to move to top-level here too and a "Remote" dir which I 
want to add my nfs-mounts to)

The current sidebar features in konq are awesome, but is there any way that 
the problems above can be solved?
