This is less the matter of what works and what does not, but more so how ma=
ny=20
people can be allocated to maintaining support for a browser or not. If we=
=20
were to turn on Firefox mode for Konqueror versus just plain not supporting=
=20
it, Google'd be short changing you as well as ourselves as we would not be=
=20
able to truly take advantage of the platform that KHTML services and wouldn=
't=20
be presenting the end user a very usable experience.

Laying it out in a nutshell, my goal is to get KHTML working with Google's=
=20
apps, not the other way around, as Google has very good (albeit, not what y=
ou=20
as a KDE hacker wants to hear) business reasons for only supporting three=20
main engines. So, patience and perseverance are in order here as I try to g=
et=20
the info you need to get our apps working.=20

An aside, understand here that this is NOT official, nor blessed support bu=
t=20
rather a small 20% project for me at work.
