	This is exactly the problem.. where do you draw the line?
It's nice to roam through your files, click on an html file, it shows
up all pretty, click on a png and it appears, click on a text file and 
blam-o, there's a new window on you screen.  I can see why you would
want to embed that.  But where does it stop?  (oh, the
insanity.... heheh.. I'm getting all wound up over here.)  But
seriously, I think Simon's "Read-only" thing is a good idea.  But then 
what about an mp3 player?  If you click on a .mp3, is that just
browsing the mp3 file?  Regardless, I still think konsole is a bit
much.  ;) -- Dan
