I agree with you (plus I use the keyboard more than the mouse). I would
rather download one page (even if it takes time) rather than having to
download a new each time I want to see the sub items. This quickly becomes
annoying especially on a slow link.

I don't think it is really to long or to short. It's just nice!

Would someone who has KOffice running like to do this job??

I like the way the graphic works at the moment. I personally don't think it
will be a big problem providing KFM supports it fairly soon. It is still
certainly useable without it!

Cheers,
