[rekonq] Re: [RFC] Better Integration of Web Applications into Window Management

[Rohan Garg]

So after reading the whole discussion i think Martin's last mail pretty much
nails the feature that he is trying to explain, as for the idea itself, i
think it would be awesome to have such a feature in rekonq and rekonq as a
project should utilize this to the fullest extent.
