Previously in the thread someone posted a patch to roll-back this change. I did not apply that myself, it could be that that roll-back-patch is preventing this option from appearing/working. Do you still have that patch applied on your system? Also, changing the tick-box worked immediately on my system. Changing the config-file directly might require ALL dolphin instances from being killed. -- Joost
