Description Christoph Wiesen 2006-04-17 17:18:19 UTC
Version:           3.5.2 (using KDE 3.5.2, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu5 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-20-386

The kio slave system:/home, that starts to be used by some distributions instead of a normal path like /home/user/ always uses "Icon View" with "very large" icons. Unfortunately it will *always* switch to that view when you browse those kio slaves, no matter if you use something else (treeview for example) by default for your normal filesystem browsing.

That's a huge annoyance as soon as you switch from some distributions (namely Kubuntu Dapper) pretty large default icon view to something smaller. Using system:/home instead of /home/user by default (through system-menu) makes it worse because it happens a lot more often now.

I don't see what system:/home is good for anyway, but please fix the issues it has since Kubuntu seems to be using it a lot now.
