Yes, that's a good idea.  The only problem I see with this:  Most
of the time there won't be an active konqi window, e.g.  when you 
"are somewhere else" to launch the script by clicking an icon 
or running it in konsole.  In those cases you'd have to fall back 
on something else... for example using the first one and activating it.


Some days ago (I didn't find the link any more) 
someone suggested this demo code to find out the active konqi instance: 

-------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

for i in `dcop | grep konqueror` ; do
  for j in `dcop $i | grep mainwindow` ; do
    if [ `dcop $i $j isActiveWindow` == "true" ] ; then
      echo $i is the currently active Konqueror.
      exit
    fi
  done
done
echo There is no currently active Konqueror.
-------------------------------------

Note: This doesn't work for me in KDE 3.1. In the current CVS version it does. 
The DCOP method isActiveWindow() didn't exist in KDE 3.1 yet...
