 Terence, 

first off, let me laugh. LOL I'm sorry man are you new to linux or kde? 
Konqueror has been a file manager since I don't know how long, let me say RH 
6.1 or somewhere around there. can anyone verify? Anyway I've been using 
konqueror as a file manager for quite a few years I'd say a good 6 or 8 years 
and been using linux for around 10 or 12 years. Also from what I can see, I 
believe you got it backwards, wouldn't it make more sense if dolphin was 
using the konqueror kpart since konqueror has been around as a file manager 
for a long long time. Matter of fact all dolphin is, is a stripped down and 
re-arranged konqueror with a different name. :-)
