Right.

No it is not the only choice.  It is one of the choices :)  The restriction in 
minicli was temporary.  I intended to come up with a config dialog that 
allows you to select the plugin you desire.  However,  I have never gotten 
around to doing it for several reason one of which is that the config dialog 
needs to be available to all apps that use it and save its settings into the 
specific apps config file.  This way the plugins used for konqueror would not 
be mixed up with the once in Minicli for example.

There is also no good reason to ban everyone from using any plugin they choose 
so long as the default setting is as sane as it is now :)

Getting carried away a bit aren't we :) ?  Of course this could easily be 
accomplished through the web-shortcut, no ?
