Hmmph...  Their websites _do_ require IE or Firefox to function properly.  
Once you lie to gmail about your browser, you _can_ make it work with 
konqueror, but not well.

_my_ browser doesn't save cookies for anyone I don't want.  In fact, I run 
konqueror for security, and firefox when I don't care (which is not to say 
that I couldn't stop firefox storing cookies, it's just convenient to have 
one browser prompt whether to use a cookie, and the other to just go ahead 
and do it).
