Understood. Konqueror 4.1 is by far the best browser I have used.  The
only reason I brought up the apparent inability to add user icons to the
system panels is that that is  the only feature I used in kde3 that
seems not to be available (yet) in kde4.  I also have the impression
that kde has an ongoing problem with security. I gave up using both
kmail and then konsole because of security problems with both of those
programs.  But I look foreward with anticipation to future releases of
bothh Fedora and KDE.
