Just tried and no we don't get any of that. The dolphin part is a simple
iconview. There's no breadcrumb, it has no API and no actions in its
actioncollection either.

Apart from those techical issues: What if kdevelop is started on a
system that doesn't have dolphin installed? The KPart is not part of
kdelibs or kdebase-runtime, which means people won't get any filemanager
if they don't install dolphin. Thats not good IMHO. I know the same
applies to the embedded konsole, but writing a good terminal app is
quite a bit more work then displaying the data of the existing
filesystem model and adding some basic navigation to it.
