This is right. kfm is not developed anymore, but this a nice feature for
the successor of kfm, called 'konqueror' (or konqy).

Simon, while making the plugin mechanism, can you think of a way to
specify, in a plugin kdelnk : for the protocol "telnet:", something like ;
launch konsole -e telnet %host  ?


This will allow the same kind of protocol support for other protocols as
well, without hacking the code.
I can think of "rlogin:", and even of somebody wanting to use, say, ncftp
for "ftp:" transfers, and netscape for "http:" transfers.
(For this we need to make plugins chosen before hardcoded protocols
(kio_http for http:, ...)
Users love be customize everything, and a lot of them want to use kfm/konqy 
as file manager only and netscape as web browser... which can be
understood, especially if there is java in the pages ;)
