Heh, yup! that's me! and that's the reason i'm not using gnome w/ metacity :-)
i like being in control and having my wm do what *i* like and not what a
couple of guys think is best for me. And as far as the list is concerned, it
may *look* the same, but it's not. It's scrolling downwards whereas the
multicolumn rightwards. Also, i can view 6 or 7 columns in a moderately-sized
window with multicolumn but only 1 column in listview (hey, its 7 times less
information out of the same desktop space - 4 times if the column size was
*right*!)

Yes, i can follow your point but i don't know about your system, on my system
setting the icons to 128x128 just makes the icons huge and doesn't increase
the text size a bit (what it does is create space for 5 or 6 lines of text).
I haven't replaced any icons for the time being but it seems _really really_
weird not having this capability to set the width (even with some hidden
option in .kde/share/config/konquerorrc or something). It really is the
simplest thing, and the default is way too small (current_size*2 would be
just great!).... :-(
Oh, and by the way, it's kde 3.3.2...
