Out of curiosity's sake, I installed kmail and friends, and took a look for myself. As I thought, it's not application dependent -- it's controlled via KDE itself. From what I've ascertained, you need to have certain KDE background processes running. Just loading konqueror up should do this for you.

It's no bother as far as I am concerned. I quite like to look at how applications built for desktop environments can be used in different window managers. > Thanks very much for your response, Thomas.
