One point I have thought of is the effect of the split on existing users.
Do existing users associate the name konqueror with the web browser component 
more strongly than the file manager, or vice versa?

Should the web browser get a new name and the file manager be called 
konqueror?
Should the file manager get a new name and web browser be called konqueror?
Would it be less confusing to have two new names, neither of them konqueror?
Would that mean we lose a lot of brand recognition?

I know this isn't exactly a pressing point at this stage, but something to 
think about.
