These do not by default make the profile for web browsing act as a web browser, it still as a file manager.
Yutt,
Although this answer your question about konqueror -internet switch, it doesn’t answer your question about the behaviour.
It does not act as a web browser.
Yeah, I realized this after replying. It makes it possible for me to manually make it look somewhat like a web browser, but it is still going to be largely a file manager. They need to completely separate the two as far as interface goes.
It doesn’t seem like it would be very difficult, as most of the work would be superficial. The main task would be splitting the file management preferences from the internet ones.
I hope this is done by 4.0, because it is very needed. I haven’t heard of any plans for it however.
People, get it: The selection buffer is different from the clipboard. Right Click-Copy puts on the clipboard, paste with right click-paste.
Select (left click drag on everything I can remember) puts on the (duh) Select buffer. Middle Click pastes the selection buffer.
These two are separate things. Windows users like the first, Unix users like the second and the use of the two is completely independent (if you select paste, it will paste the last thing that was copyed, not the last which was selected), unless you try to use the two at the same time (as you would need to select to copy things, and thus you would overwrite both buffers)
This is not a “KDE small thing”, it is a freedesktop.org standard. This should irk you about Mozilla or GNOME (or, should I say, that bunch of unrelated GTK apps frankensteined together with the buttons reversed just to get some kind of identity?). If you don’t like it, sorry. This is how it is, and this is (as you’ll see if you browse the standard on freedesktop) how it should have been since X.
I’m a happy GNOME 2.2 user. I don’t care about GNOME 2.4 or KDE x.y because everything I use are terminal, vim, Eclipse, Firebird and Thunderbird.
Don’t waste u time with customizing the destop!!! Be simple and stay powerfull!!!
