I have fixed, with Waldo's help, the "relative URL resolution" problem ( bug#
1556 ) and committed it into the 1_1_BRANCH.  It turned out to be a one line fix
in KURL.

Correctly so.  This URL is not valid ( per RFC 1738 & 2396 ).  It is neither a
relative nor an absolute URL.  FYI, it does not work in Navigator ( on Linux )
either.

Why ? kfm, actually KURL, does the right thing by rejecting this.  If such a
URL is produced by man2html, then shouldn't it rather be reported to whomever
maintains man2html rather than kfm-devel ?

IMHO, this is not really necessary as you can already show/hide the Tree
any time you feel like it. ( View->Show/Hide Tree )
