I could search my high-volume kubuntu-users folder for links if you need them, 
but my understanding is that konqueror-kde4 is a web browser only.  If you 
use it for file management, you are really only using an embedded 
dolphin.part.  

Konqueror 3.x is IMO the best reason to use KDE.  A mid-quality web browser, 
but a fantastic file manager and other cool stuff (like fonts:// smb:// 
audiocd://, etc.).  Dolphin uses more screen space than the crippled tasks it 
performs warrant.  I am truly puzzled as to why it is considered an 
improvement.
