Hi David!

I am happy that Macromedia has decided to support Konqueror in the 
future. If you have any further questions concerning more integration 
with KDE I am sure the KDE developers will be happy to help.

The userAgent of Konqueror can be customized by the user.
As long as the user doesn't make his Konqueror undetectable on purpose 
you will be able to check by looking for "Konqueror/3". The default 
userAgent is "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux)". The user 
can change it to something like "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; 
Konqueror/3; Linux 2.4.19; X11; i686; de, en)" for example. Looking 
for "Konqueror/3" should be safe.

I hope that will help you. I have forwarded your mail to the developer 
mailing list of KDE, I hope it's ok for you.

Greetings
 Stefan
