Matthew, My understanding is that Konqueror/KDE4 uses dolphin.part for its file manager. What is not clear is whether the Konqueror servicemenus, and things like smb:/, fonts:/ & audiocd:/ — things that don't currently work with dolphin — will continue to work with Konqueror. Konqueror 3 and all of its file and network functionality is my favorite part of KDE. I associated Konqueror with all of the stuff that now defaults to dolphin in KDE3, but my understanding is that much is to be removed from Konqueror itself in KDE4 (hence my "dumbing down" comment) and Konqueror as anything but an http/https browser is really dolphin masquerading as Konqueror.
