File->OPen file list does not highlight selection...

[Michael Thatcher]

Thanks - I had to turn off "Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE 
applications" before I got any highlights. 

For future reference to those unfamiliar with KDE, this knob is located 
in KDE Contol Center->Appearance & Themes->Colors - the bottom middle of 
the window.
