2 tabs are better than 4; this isn't an oft used item and there are other 
paths to it (i can think of 3 off the top of my head, actually =) ... most 
users go into KControl or Konqueror's settings. so making this dialog a 4 
tabbed monster isn't necessary.

note that in some places (eg kicker) and for some files (eg files with 
KFileMetaInfo plugins) the properties dialog already has 3 or 4 tabs, so it 
would create a 5 or 6 tab ubermonster there. 

also, the file properties dialog is its own dialog that is easily called as a 
separate widget without having to combine the logic of its tabs with the 
properties dialog.
