a long standing issue with konqueror's multicolumn view has been fixed in KDE CVS!!! you can check out the thread discussing the issue at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42587. here is a short description of the fix: *************************************** ------- Additional Comment #18 From Martin Koller 2004-12-04 13:07 ------- CVS commit by mkoller: BUG: 42587 GUI: The maximum text width used in konqis multi column view is now configurable in konqis appearance dialog. The default is 600 pixel, which should be enough to not wordwrap the files text. Now the iconview determines the column width dynamically, so it's no longer fixed for all columns.

I think it's already included in kde-3.4.0_beta1, which will be out in a few days.
will assume fixed in 3.4.0
