Actually it doesn't work the way I would like in Gnome either, as it 
only hides the files in Nautilus.
The hidden files still show up in file dialogs ofGnome apps like gedit.

If we add a hide functionality to KDE as well, the files should make 
sure that hidden files are
hidden in file dialogs as well, as it is probably here they are most in 
the way of users. E.g
if there are many files, chances are much greater that you need to 
scroll in a file dialog than
in a konqueror view.
