Yep, this feature would still exist. And in addition I'd plan to make the
sesion management save the current view profile in the sm-config -> this
saves/restores the whole complete mainview(s), for free :-)
(still needs fixes though, so that everything is stored in *one* group,
but the core functionality works fine)

However I don't really like konqueror starting up every time I fire up the
whole KDE. That's why I would prefer the usual way of sm and konqy not in
startkde.
What do you think?

I agree!

OTOH if it crashes then 10 windows go down..

Perhaps we can find a way in the middle? ;-)
Every fifth window a new instance?
Hmm, no, that's no real solution I guess.
So we keep the old way of one single instances for kfmclient, right?
