they're tested, and the browser not being condusive to real world application, 
the best that can be hoped for is wait until the bugs are fixed, test again, 
and if the browser is working then keep using it. If not... well then 
Konqueror usage will fall by the wayside.

If the browser is unusuable and remains so because of neglect, then you will 
see fewer and fewer people using the browser. Don't you think? I've said this 
over and over and over again. Most users use computers. They are not QA 
technicians for developement houses, nor should anyone expect them to be so. A 
few of us take Open Source seriously and do our best to participate. But most 
people do not have the time or inclination. They just want the OS and 
applications that they use to work. If it doesn't they move on. Konqueror is 
rather quickly falling by the wayside which is terribly unfortunate.

These are just the bugs that I've posted and continue to monitor, and there 
must quite a number more.
