Yes, I am aware that there are valid arguments on the other side as 
will.  I was only suggesting that the current critics come up with 
something other than their unsubstantiated opinions.

Actually, since my ideas have been partially implemented.  And with a 
new bug, there is new material to discuss.

Well I hadn't really intended to get into it again.  The thread seems to 
have gotten off of the original subject and I am probably at least 
partially responsible for that as I have a tendency to ramble on about 
stuff.

But, it appears that there are new people that haven't discussed it 
before.  Either join in or not as you prefer.  Sometimes kicking a 
standing issue around again results in new idea and sometimes it is just 
a wast of time.

I would like to limit this to discussing what is necessary so that a 
user can do this if they want to without having to modify the code. 
This is more important than my opinion on what the default should be.

There also needs to be clearer names for the KIO URLs.  The original 
poster is correct that they are not at all clear.  As someone said, what 
would you expect:

	system:/documents

to do if you enter it in the "Location" of Konqueror.  Does it crash on 
your system?
