I agree, that's why I'm also interested in finding a good solution inside \
KUrlNavigator :-)

Great :-)

Thanks! This gives us some time providing a really good solution instead of rushing \
it out for 4.1.

I've added KUrlNavigator as next important point on my TODO-list for the 4.2 release \
cycle. I'll start with a prototype directly after we got 4.1 out of the door and will \
let you know as soon as I've something to play with and to do some user tests.

Bye,
Peter
