 You can configure it to have more than one preloaded Konqy (say, for people 
with 512MiB RAM who don't want reusing of Konqy instances because of possible 
crashing). It seemed easier to me to have one central point knowing the total 
count than asking all Konqy instances. Also, if it will be able to reuse also 
KonqMainWindow (for which I need some help), IMHO it will be easier to do the 
searching for the best match in the kdedmodule. Kdedmodules shouldn't be 
expensive anyway.
