Sounds minor, and yes these people are probably paranoid, but IMHO if this is implemented, a user option to disable it should be a priority. Also, I don't see why we should restrict this to .ico files, at least for the second method. We could rough in support for XPM and PNG, and later add the .ico filter. Granted, developer.kde.org might be the only website that would take advantage of PNG icons :), but it's still worth a shot. Why should people writing pages for Konqueror have to get a Windows icon editor? ~k On Wed, 29 Nov 2000, Kurt Granroth wrote: > Hans Meine wrote: > > Simon Hausmann writes: > > > > 1.
