konq as kfm new annoyances

I still use konq as my kde file manager instead of dolphin mainly for 2 
reasons:

1. Can split screen top and bottom (not just left and right)

2. Has bookmarks

Anyhow, what I have noticed now with 4.4 is two new annoyances.

1. When anything pops up in konq (as file mgr) instead of a nice small 
dialog it comes up the exact same size of the konq. window and covers 
it. For example, when you are copying a file and the name exists at the 
destination.

2. When you rename a file (F2 or right click rename) konq. scoots the 
original file name to the left and out of sight while you are typing 
until you hit enter. (Actually, I just checked and dolphin does this 
too. I assume konq and dolphin share a lot of code.)

I assume these are kde bugs (or issues) and not something fedora12 is 
causing, but not sure.
