[kde-linux] Dolphin vs. Konqueror

[G. A. Gallup]

Dear Anne,
    Kubuntu's installer had Dolphin 1.0.2 of KDE 4.03 available also.   
I installed it. and it does have a navigation panel showing a tree  
structure.  Although it has applications assigned to many file types,  
it's got postscript files wrong, attempting to open them with Open  
Office.  I think I will abandon Dolphin for now.
    KDE's new single-click feature is also a pain.  I haven't figure  
out how to high-light a file with the mouse rather than open it.
