Description Sean Lynch 2003-08-23 08:46:57 UTC 
Version:           3.1.90 (using KDE 3.1.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB-athlon

The copy-to dialog can overtake the whole screen on directories with alot of folders (see attached screenshot).  I think a "More >>" link at the bottom or something a little more intuitive should be implemented to keep this from happening.

I just noticed that the quick browser menu item you can add to the kmenu has this 
setup like I was requesting.  Maybe it would be possible to reuse that code in this 
situtation?  (I attached another screenshot showing the quick browser)

Another option would be using scrollable menus. They are implemented in Qt, but don't work that well. The scrollable menus in Gtk+ on the other hand show that they can be made to work well.
