You're right - it is rather a it of work, and with a number of bug
citations, perhaps not the best way to go. And, even if done, it's
still not nearly as good as what was in the old konq - much faster,
easier, and no buggering with the stock S/W.

Also interesting to note the comments re 'elementary' - done to get
rid of stuff in nautilus. Can't blame them... :-) Forget the eye
candy, give me functionality. Pleeeze don't dumb it down too much.

Thanks for the note.
