I noticed this when I started KDE 4.4 for the first time. It looked quite 
different (and a little ugly), but somehow I got used to it.

Those four thumbnails on each folder icon? I actually like these :)

So at least sometimes things improve :)
I don't use gwenview much. When I used it a while ago, browsing through

after it hogged very much of my memory. Just retried that, problem's gone.
