Still works for me.  You should check that "Show previews in file

using the File Management profile (Settings->Load View Profile).

You can also try to backup and delete your ~/.kde3.5 directory, and
start over.  Maybe you have some kind of issue there...

My settings were correct.

I deleted my old .kde* directories when I upgraded to kde 3.5 since I was having other wierd issues, but I did it again, and it worked. It shouldn't be this difficult. I have never had this happen before during normal use, and a simple upgrade shouldn't cause all the settings to go wacky especially when they show correctly through the configuration settings.

I did some work to determine why my login manager wallpaper doesn't show up properly.

If I download a wallpaper via the login manager, it places it in /root/.kde/share/wallpapers/

For example, I picked a random wallpaper and installed it. In the /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc it shows as:

Wallpaper=$HOME/.kde/share/wallpapers/QuakeLinux--0

Log out, log in, and it doesn't show, but if I change the line to:

Wallpaper=/root/.kde/share/wallpapers/QuakeLinux--0

it works perfect. Which explains why the never showed up properly. All my login wallapers are located in /root

When logging in, the environment variable $HOME hasn't been determined. Sounds like a bug. Can anybody else confirm this?

Thanks,
Ken
