That's one of the questions.
E.g. when navigating using the keyboard it's no problem.
When using the mouse it is.
The Finder on OS X uses double click to open and single click to select 
(...and get a preview).
I very much like the KDE single click, it's very convenient for me.
Maybe simply preview always the item below the mouse cursor if it hasn't moved 
for 0.5 seconds or something like that ?
Which doesn't mean it has to get the selection too, automatically.

Btw. now that we are talking about this, actually I have the impression that 
the file dialog isn't used that much for opening files.
At least my girl friend mainly uses konqueror to navigate to the file she's 
interested in and then clicks on it so it gets opened with the associated 
application.

But then again the file dialog is also used for saving files.
Which is a bit different.

Bye
