Well, more or less it works different everywhere I tried it now. At least 
QListBox, QListView and QIconView work the same in this case :-)) I think the 
way it's done in the Windows explorer is quite intuitive (which is not too 
different from the way kfm did it, but a bit better IMO). So I'll probably do 
it like ie.
