How to disable desktop folders preview/tip in KDE 4.3 ?

[hadrurus]

I'm having a hard time disabling directory preview/tip on the desktop with 4.3.

To be precise: in 4.3, using either desktop display mode, when you hover directory it'll display grayish rectangle with contents of this dir, which you can also hover and so on. I'd like to permanently turn it off.

I tried to disable file/directory previews in dolphin and konqueror settings, but it's about previews, not this folder content presentation.

Anyway, iirc in 3.5.x it was disabling file tips (so that no yellowish rectange with file info is shown :P), but i don't see any option like this.

Just to finish - i must say i'm very much impressed with 4.3 overall stability and usability. I've been using KDE from version 2 on RH, then mandrake, then gentoo, then started using kubuntu at 6.06 iirc but after introducing KDE 4 in 8.10 i went back to gentoo with ultra stable 3.5.10, but with recent 4.3 release i wanted to check it out again ... and its great ... apart of the problem i mentioned earlier (and 2 others i'll post in separate threads for tidyness :P)

thanks in advance for any help

You can't, so you can chime in your suggestion for such an option to be implemented in the near future.

I thought i was the only one who hated that thing, sure i has its advantages but can also be distracting sometimes..
