Good that's excellent.

May I suggest a basic default toolbar?

HOME,BACK,FORWARDS,UP,RELOAD,FIND,SPLIT,Show Hidden Files

I see no reason to add anything that is in the context menu.

Also:-
May I suggest that the icon view is NOT the default and that the details 
view be made default. I really can't imagine that anyone who uses 
dolphin for anything serious would use the icon view, as long filenames 
get truncated. It gets quite tedious changing it for both root and 
normal user on each fresh installation.

Just my 2 cents ;)
