Sure there are.  Let's hope that the cons get faded out by developers
one by one.

Sure, but with all due respect to the KDE peoples efforts and merits
this just demonstrates that KFM is simply broken.  Fortunately this is
AFAIK a known issue which is practically resolved in the current devel
versions of KDE by getting rid of KFM and it's desktop management
altogether and splitting their functions into a new file manager and a
library for the the desktop handling (please correct me if i'm wrong
as i don't follow KDE development very closely).
