Based on our prior kde-sig meeting, we'd tentatively agreed to pursue 
considering using a default browser different than konqueror.

I'm proposing we consider using firefox by default instead.

Secondary proposal: keep konqueror installed as a secondary browser (and 
file manager, etc).  It's runtime footprint is only ~6mb.

I asked some Plasma workgroup member(1) members for votes on irc, and those 
without documented votes yet include:
Martin Bříza (mbriza): no vote
Kevin Kofler (Kevin_Kofler): no vote
Than Ngo (than): no vote
Lukáš Tinkl (ltinkl): no vote
Dan Vrátil (dvratil): no vote

This message is a call for formal +1/-1 vote from these folks.

Please limit this mailing list thread to votes only, and start new thread(s) 
if you wish to continue discussing the the pros/cons on the topic.  Thanks.
