I thought *you* were making fun of it. ;-)

Good idea.

If I understand it right, it is a bad idea. When using different windows, one 
usually uses them to follow different breadcrumb trails. Take for example two 
windows, where you use the first, then you use the second for half an hour, 
and then you want to go back one page in the first one. However, since then 
you have surfed 50 pages in the second window, which you would have to go 
back over *all* of them to reach the.last page of the first window, and only 
then you can finally go back one page there.

If you wanted to click some link the the formely 50th page of window 2, you 
cannot even reach it any more as the forward button's history would have been 
cleared.

So could you please explain me what's the difference between your proposal and 
only allowing a single konqueror window at any time?

I'm wary to try it. Does it mess around with the existing installation (i. e. 
making it unusable, making irreversible changes)?

Please take my comments as constructive critisism. It's not my intention to 
turn you down.
