Thank you for your info!

Ark will undergo many changes after KDE 3.2. I'll try to fix all usability 
issues I find, so please make sure yours are reported at bugs.kde.org 
(BTW, it's probably better to raise these issues there instead of 
kde-usability).

This is a known bug (#66885). I should have fixed it earlier, but I have 
yet to find time.

This bug is already fixed for KDE 3.3, since we have a proper Konqueror 
plugin instead of servicemenus. It is ready (in the ark3 branch), but 
wasn't included in KDE 3.2 due to freeze restrictions. For 3.2, I'll need 
to create a workaround (shouldn't be difficult, but I'm not having much 
free time lately).

Huh? This works... Even in KDE 3.1...
What version are you using?
