I would've liked to have got involved with that one: I use KDE extensively on 
my main machines but still use Gnome, XFCE, and BlackBox on some others so 
I'm full of opinions! I find Firefox rather clunky after using Konqueror and 
dislike having to launch other applications to browse smb shares, local  
filesystems, ssh to other machines, etc.
