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
