I dont think there is a need for a distinct web browser. Where is konqueror 
insufficient as a browser?
On the contrary I sometimes miss a distinct file-manager, because konqueror is 
best suited for browsing(online and offline) and not managing, but to solve 
this you would only need to be able to change between click-to-execute and 
click-to-select on the fly, something I trying to work out a model for.
