[kde-linux] Dolphin vs. Konqueror

[G. A. Gallup]

Kubuntu seems to have put together a mixed set of KDE applications.   
Some say they are part of KDE 3.5.9 and others part of KDE 4.03.   
Konqueror is 3.5.9, while I have versions of Dolphin for both.  Games  
are 4.03.  I haven't seen any other version numbers yet.  Thanks for  
your responses,
GAG
