I agree.

That's my plan.  I'm not at all happy with KDE4 as it is, but I have few
doubts that it will improve.  But if, in future, I can't use Konqueror the
way I use it now I may very well get around to trying a whole different
desktop.  Konqueror is the killer app that keeps me on KDE.

That's the only option I'm even thinking about.
