 not when you recompile KDE [3.2.2 / 3.3] with the kdbfs
 patches, there ain't.

 kdbfs "flattens" the directory structures and forces applications,
 via patches to the file save and file open dialogs, to ONLY be able
 to save documents in certain subdirectories, ~/Documents, ~/Music ...
 etc.

 kdbfs then provides you with an "alternative" to the concept
 of a directory structure, with a much more comprehensive file
 open dialog box, which has exactly the same sort of search
 capabilities built-in that MAC OS/X has given people for
 several years now.
