I hate it also.   KDE would be better without it.

On a related note, the inconsistent handling of URL's in cut & paste is a pain.  Half 
the time it interrupts my attempt to cut & paste a URL.  Then, if I get frustrated with
the feature and try to actually USE it, half the time it does not work (additionally
interrupting my attempt to cut & paste the url).  KDE is better off without these
fancy "I know what you meant to do" features.

Hi! I'm a do-it-yourself virus... please delete 4 files at random
