Hi,

I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask three questions. First one:
is anyone working on Shell integration in konqueror, something along the 
lines of EFM? Because if not then I would like to make it my systems 
programming class extra project. My professor agreed on that. And so I have a 
question, I was going through konqueror sources, and I don't see a way to add 
a transparent child window ( think transparent, editable tooltip, which would 
display input as you're typing) to the KIconCanvas unless I missed something. 
So of course my question is did I miss something? :) I thought about writing 
KAdvancedIconCanvas class, which would inherit QCanvas. The advantage of that 
would be the fact that one could zoom in, out, rotate ( don't ask me why ;) ) 
etc the icon view. Besides I think that having pixmap background would look 
kind of nice. So two : is anyone working on such a class? 
And third is anyone using DocBrowser written by theKompany? I just got my 
version and I'm so disappointed it's not even funny. I didn't get a 
registration key, which means I can't register on their website, so no future 
updates for me. The thing is static. I can't add new library documentation 
like the one provided for older version of kde and qt. And adding html 
documentation is just silly, because you have to add each page individually, 
which implies that unless you got lots and lots of free time on your hands 
you can forget about getting the newer qt documentation in there. Then it 
doesn't let you change man paths once they're set. And on to of that once I 
wrote an email to support department at theKompany asking for the 
registration key I got an email saying that I need to pay for the support. 
This is ridicules, they should at least send the registration key to me. So 
did I miss anything about that product, or did I just waste $40 on something 
that's not even close to "Devhelp" ?
