This cannot be the case.  Please read David's post on why on the other long
thread in this list here : http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=95270657224867&w=2

Why would you need an embeded konsole for remote protocols ?  Rememebr you just
stated that the embedded konsole should follow the current working directory
which is correct.  However, how would that work for an FTP and HTTP protocols ?
To deal with ftp from the command line you need FTP client tools.  HTTP in most
cases is worthless as you can not even browse the directories.  Best you can do
is telnet or again other client side command tools.  This IMHO is wrong.

Is there such software ??  Although I think konqy is indeed very elegant and
very customizable and easy to use :)
