From kde Sun Mar 26 22:55:27 2000 From: "Timothy R. Butler" Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 22:55:27 +0000 To: kde Subject: RE: Netscape/Mozilla X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde&m=95411149011147 Kevin, The main reason I mentioned integrating Gecko is the fact that all the interface could pull of QT/KDE controls, be integrated into KFM (err - whatever it's called in 2.0), etc. without "re-inventing the wheel." However, maybe Konqi will be even better than Gecko... Thanks for the info... -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
