I also particularly liked Konqueror's integration with file management. The current Konqueror maintainer is trying single-handedly to keep it running as a simple browser and does not have the (human) resources to recreate the FM functionality of KDE 3 on it. He has asked for devs to join him, but had no takers. I've tried Trinity in the past, but at the time it was nowhere near developed enough to use on a daily basis. -- Regards, Mick --nextPart4126969.Dx6a5v0I4A Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
