ah ok, so it was part of the project but got out because of dev
decision... too bad, but they for sure have their reasons. maybe they
want to reconsider now with qt4 being available.

how true! i do not use firefox where konqueror works... simply because
of speed. some miliseconds to open a konqueror window compared to
seconds for firefox :) ... of course the themes are nice, but after
playing a little, i want not to be held back by gadgets :) ... thats
over all also the reason why i use arch.
