it's going to take a massive PR push to change that mindset.  Most people
could care less.

Agreed, and it would be nice if upstream would share it's roadmap
concerning that.  Again,
I haven't read anything that says Konqueror is going away; to the contrary
it is described as a
key application.  If KDE (or again whatever it's called) wants to get out
of the browser business, that's fine;
but it needs to be stated and not on some mailing list.  Put it on the
webpage for Konqueror.

That all said, I get the point about KDE Plasma Workspaces and KDE
Applications;
for the purposes of this thread however, it's a distinction without a
difference.
