if we remove all the unnecessary instrumentation and add all the 
purpose-specific pieces for each of these items, the user will hardly notice 
it's konqueror at all and the "consistency" between the modes will be no more 
than would be achieved with separate applications.

the downside is that this makes konqueror more complex code-wise, which 
usually equates to more quirks and bugs.

the interfaces between KDE apps is already pretty consistent. and while 
there's something to be said about allowing for the merging of similar 
applications (e.g. kontact) the trade-offs for merging all the apps seems to 
me at least to be not worth it.
