Re desktop apps
A significant number of KDE users don't seem to like
Konqueror as is.
Very very few web designers seem to be testing again KHTML.
So
I
believe Konqueror + KHMTL is going to be harmful to KDE for
quite some
time.
Until another browser comes along that integrates as well
into
the KDE experience, it's default here. Also, it can't use more
than 20MB of RAM on startup. I think I'll be waiting for quite
a while ;) .
