Maybe Aaron can comment on this in more detail, but my attention was caught 
because of the "Dolphin" in the subject... The "Raptor=Dolphin" question is 
unclear for me: As Dolphin did not (and never was intended to) replace 
Konqueror my guess is that the question was meant as "Will Raptor be the new 
_default_ menu?" Is this the question?

As far as I know:
- Raptor is developed outside the scope of the core-plasma team.
- There has been no decision done whether Raptor will be the default menu in 
future KDE versions. I think this topic even has not been discussed at all, 
as Raptor is still in alpha stage.

The cool thing in Plasma is that the user is not restricted anymore to use one 
single application launcher menu :-) Currently there is Kickoff and KMenu 
available, Raptor and Lancelot are alternative solutions that might be 
available for KDE 4.2.

Which of those 4 menus might be default for KDE 4.2/4.x is completely open.

Best regards,
Peter
