Tried this this morning, it took three hours total, except
that, just as last time, konqueror did not compile at
the end of it all.  konq_iconview.cc is where the problems 
lie, this is in the version downloaded at noon CUT.

Well, maybe I will post something there, but not likely,
as it is probably more likely to be ignored than to start
any discussion.  

One thing different is how konqueror (I assume) is
dealing only with managing the windows of plug-ins
that are browser-like, as opposed to more general
applications.   Another is that users don't appear
to be able to specify and alter general patterns of
window arrangement.

I don't see why they shouldn't be able to be bookmarks as well.
It is quite natural to want to save bookmarks that open up two
separate windows on two separate pages, side by side, and to be
able to access such an arrangement by the same general mechanism
that enables me to access single pages.
