Yes.  You wouldn't want to try to get (e.g. JPEG thumbnails) from a huge 
directory over a dialup FTP link. ;-)

You can configure that in KControl -> KDE Components -> File Manager.  It's 
the Previews & Meta-Data tab.

I dunno. :-(

As long as it starts with an x- for the type it should be alright.  That one 
sounds good to me.

You'd have to ask kde-core-devel about placing it in CVS, I think.  Although 
you may not hear anything back.  I still haven't heard back about my 
kfile-torrent plugin.  As far as what CVS module to put it in, kdeaddons 
sounds like a good idea.
