I'm biting my tongue here, because to say this feature is confusing,
worthless and contradicts standards is an understatement. :-)

Not at all. I removed it countless times when I was running the Edgy
alpha/beta.
You might want to take /media/.hidden along with it.

if the .hidden file was visible, I think that would give a clue about
this microsoft-ish feature, and hence allow newcomers to disable it.
the better fix would be to let this feature go.

The problem is probably that usability is different for everyone. Having
this complexity hiding by default is maybe desirable for very new
newbies, but keeping it hidden and not having a very obvious way of
unhiding the complexity will be confusing and limiting to go beyond
newbie level.

This is the designed-in behavior, not a bug, so I'm setting importance
to wishlist. Not rejecting it because I don't know a better way to
track the response of users to this change than to track reported bugs.
It works in gtk apps too, presumably, because Gnome has supported this
feature since
I think it's only a matter of documenting that feature (IMHO a useless
and confusing feature) somewhere (kubuntu release notes?)...

Thanks for your bugreport.
Can you please attach a screenshot of this reduced view? I'm unable to
reproduce this here on a machine that was upgraded from dapper-edgy

Thanks,

Maybe I've found the reason for that feature. On my system I've installed
ubuntu with a near complete kubuntu set of packages (so it is a gnome+kde
system), my desktop is KDE.
I found that in my root dir there's a symbolic link named .hidden that points
