oh well, I still haven't made it inherit KDirOperator, as I'm very short

Sorry yes, that should be done in the constructor of KFileWidget. I'm
committing that right now.

Hmm, I don't get it - both versions should create a FileWidget exactly as
large as the tab in the dialog. Maybe Espen has some idea (he's the author
