Description Mohd Asif Ali Rizwaan 2005-10-18 01:58:17 UTC 
Version:           3.4.92 (using KDE 3.4.92 (beta2, >= 20051010), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11.7

The multicolumn view settings like "Width for icon text: 600 pixels" are not applied unless we change it and save it.

I guess konqi is not loading the settings. If you start a fresh kde installation and switch to multicolumn view, then you can see that the filename text is not obeying 600pixel wide width.

we have to "save" manually the settings then only it gets applied.

I can confirm this with r620k. The cause is line 91ff in kdebase/libkonq/konq_settings.cc:

  d->m_iconTextWidth = config->readNumEntry( "TextWidth", DEFAULT_TEXTWIDTH );
  if ( d->m_iconTextWidth == DEFAULT_TEXTWIDTH )
    d->m_iconTextWidth = QFontMetrics(m_standardFont).width("0000000000");

ie, if the textwidth is at the default, set it to a "sensible" value based on the default font. This is reasonable, but a little confusing, because it leads to bug reports like this :-). I guess this is a WONTFIX for the developers, though, since it's kind of a corner case.
