You can either add child widgets above or below the main view (eg to add a
file info display or something) or you can 'swallow' the entire layout by
reimplementing the swallower() method. The latter allows you to add new
widgets around the outside of the dialog (eg. a preview window). Another
option is to use the views in libkfile directly. You also have the option
of extending KDir to navigate new kinds of filesystem (even ones you made
up).
