IMHO this is/was a very good feature and should be kept in konqy as well.  In
fact it was much easier for me to do dnd in kfm than it was/is in Windows.

This would be great.  Giving people the ability to extend the popup menu is the
RIGHT THING.  There was no way to do this in kfm unless you modified the source
code.  I had suggested this a while back, but since I have yet to move to KDE
2, I have not done any hacking on konqy yet.  I hope to change this soon.
