My comments on the other functionality issues remain unchanged, but
I do have some extra information on the mouse focus policy.

The konqueror response depends on the website being looked at.  If I am
viewing lwn.net there is no necessity to click on the page before I can use
the arrow keys.  However, the extra click *is* required on linuxtoday.com.

So it looks like web designers can (inadvertently?) put in code to control
your mouse focus on web pages.  I believe most users would prefer a uniform
look and feel so it becomes even more imperative to have a local setting that
overrides everything else.

Subject: konqueror missing important functionality

Package: konqueror
Version: 2.0-20000827-0 (Debian beta4 version or slightly later)
Severity: wishlist

(1) Mouse focus policy: Currently you must click on a page in order to make
the arrow, pageup, and pagedown keys work. I prefer "focus follows mouse"
for my desktop which I have configured under window behaviour/actions, but
which konqueror currently ignores.  Please just change konqueror to follow
this configured policy.  Alternatively, if you don't view this as strictly
the same as mouse focus policy, then make a separate configuration item for
konqueror so that the user at least has the option of eliminating the
annoying extra keyclick that is currently required before arrow, etc., keys
become functional.
