I disagree. The internet / windows explorer act like this. It is
annoying. 
It is so frustrating not using the interface you _choosed_ to start.
I think we could have a "parcial switch" as konq behaves today, with new 
buttons/ menu items, not the total switch of ie/we.

I have a gut feeling we need to do an usability test to solve this ;)
