 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.
