|   Nautilus uses the Gecko engine to render HTML files and GnomeVFS (KIO is
|   a similar idea) for handling HTTP/FTP/File etc., so while we could
|   launch Konqueror for HTML, we are probably more likely to use our own
|   handling ;-) On the other hand, I will put Konqi in the database as
|   handling text/html so it will be an option to users.

This will be good. Can you also put KWrite (Advanced Editor) in this database 
(for text/html, text/css, and just "text"). IMHO it is excellent HTML editor, 
much better than Windows's Notepad.  :-)

BTW: what happened with Galeon?
I thought that Galeon is supposed to be Gnome's browser based on Gecko.

|   Probably nothing unless NS6/Mozilla registers to handle these (which it
|   will may).

Then end-users will benefit from including Konqueror as default 
handler/viewer.
(it is related to SWF, RealAudio and other closed-sourced media formats; 
Konqueror supports them very well via installed Netscape-standard plugins, 
and there is no need for Netscape browser to support them)
 
When you clik on .swf in Konqueror, it starts playing Flash content, without 
asking any questions :-)
Very convinient and *much more advanced*, comparing to MS IE (which does 
*nothing* when you click on .swf)
Dunno about Netscape, as I don't use it.

|   We will at least want them registered in the database to make it easy
|   for users to choose them as one of the options.

This will be very good, thanks!
