I'm using flwm as the window manager; KDE's overhead of daemons
(kdeinit, gam_server) and memory leaks was preventing my productivity,
and the packagers kept rearranging the KDE menus to the point where
I could never find anything, and kept changing around hotkeys and
function sequences to the point where every OS upgrade was a major
event. So years ago I gave up on all of em, and switched to FLTK's
window manager which I've hacked a bit for my own tastes, and runs
very slim on ram and processes.
So I almost never use Konqueror, or any programs tied to the
kdeinit daemons.
I mostly use the command line, but I use firefox sometimes
for browsing local dirs.
I relent to konq only when image browsing, or to test web page
compatibility.

Yes, I have the same result here on a much older konqueror
and fedora3.
Reverse works though; I can drag konqueror urls into firefox,
and can drag both into my gnome terminals, which chops off the
leading "file:".

Sure, will do.
