Seems to work, and is a pretty spiffy workaround. So thanks, Rog131, for the research and explanation.
Even so, I'm not sure I'm completely sold on Dolphin. I always thought that removing functionality in favor of simple interfaces was the philosophy of GNOME. If the KDE and Kubuntu teams are now adopting the same philosophy, then perhaps I should reevaluate my own notions about what environment will best serve my needs.
