yes, this is unfortunately true, and it's (afaik) because Tuomov doesn't 
like  
extended window manager hints which don't conform to ICCCM. It's very sad  
because of this also drag'n drop and other things like embedding in some  
programs doesn't work since these (kde) programs don't find other 
instances  
of its own program.

because internal tabbing has many advantages: 
- close all tabs/close all but current tab 
- open tab in _background_ when middle clicking (probably the biggest  
advantage) 
- doesn't clutter the Ion's title bar so much, when having many tabs 
- tabs are next to each other, with Ion tabs it might be, that between 10  
konqueror window tabs there are tabs of other programs. 
- ... 
 
and especially the current mix form is a bit inapropriate for me, because 
I  
often have 3 konqueror windows open with some having multiple tabs 
inside,  
and some don't have, because of opening a new konqueror window instead of  
konqueror tab when opening an url from another program (like a mail 
programm  
or instant messenger). 
 
Well that's my opionion (I am not the starter of this thread).
