When does the irony from you stops, and you start thinking a bit ?

You want to launch konqueror each time the user wants to display a directory ?

Of course not.

We launch kfmclient, which takes care of speaking to konqueror or launching a new
one.

And ? What happens when you run an image, a text, an HTML page, ANYTHING ???
Just the same : a process is started.

I was wrong - this was used for text/html as well - but Simon
fixed that and KFileManager is already dead.

Preston, please remember we do this for fun. You may not (anymore),
but we still do. Your comments about the icon-loader dialog
and now those about kfmclient are really starting to piss me off.
