Yes, I'm aware of that, but that has no bearing on what I am
experiencing. In KDE3, those setting weren't transferred across view
modes; Icon view settings & list (detail as KDE4 calls it) view
settings, at least for "show hidden files" weren't inherited one from
the other.

I must have my stupid head on, because I can't find that anywhere.
Exactly what step are you taking here?

Probably not; A lot of water's passed under the bridge since that time.

Indeed. It took me quite a while (read; months) to figure out that the
KDE3 style kicker could be had, as you mentioned. Getting some of the
info seems to be like pulling hens teeth.

I never noticed a slowdown when the change to KDE4 came. Mind you, my
machine was struggling to keep up with KDE3 at that point, so I ended up
building a new one, and installing Debian with KDE4 on that.
Consequently, I can't compare the two.
Overall, I'm happy with KDE4. Once I overcame the culture shock.
