Thanks for the patch!

I think that the (blocky) space info bar will be irritating for people, who prefer clean and easy interfaces.
We should ask the VDG what they think about showing the space information by default and what they think about the space info bar in general.
IMHO: I would replace it by a simple status text (easy fix for bug 318395) and remove the show/hide option completely.

And in this case probably also not needed because my point is the following: I find the "Space information" item very useful. But it is currently not visible by default. I found it only accidently back then. New users would surely not be repelled by this additional information. So what about making the "Space information" item visible by default (see kde-baseapps/dolphin/build/src/dolphin_generalsettings.cpp, line 90)?
