Has anyone thought about a KDE shell recently?  It would be nice to have  a
CLI that was integrated into the rest of the desktop. I can think of a few
features I'd like:
 	1) type in a nonexecutable file name and the default
viewer/editor gets launched via kfmClient (or maybe a little popup asks you
which viewer you want to use)
	2) files/folders that have been viewed/edited from the shell get their
URLs marked as visited in KFM
	3) New commands: cdback/cdfor for those of us getting used to browser
back/forward buttons (ex: cd ~;cd /tmp;cdback leaves you in ~)
	4) Could send status info. to konsole (ex: to display the cwd in a
konsole status bar or in caption)
	5) Update open KFM windows when files are created, deleted, etc.
(although the added information gained from a shell would certainly not be
complete)

Any comments?

Dave
