Unfortunately, that would very likely not meet Google's QA team's approval, so 
we have to deal with what we get. If we can get the apps working right then I 
can talk to the tech leads and developers at work about getting the checks 
changed to send the page to Konqueror with the proper id check. Until then, 
the teams in charge of these apps won't budge on this due to policy that apps 
should present a completely working, without hacks, user experience, and if 
it is known to not work, bail out.
