konqueror information screen mockup

[Lee Olson]

Hi, 

Attached is a revised version of my konqueror information screen mockup.  
Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions so that I may prepare it for 
the .png extraction process.

(Please note that the icons in the center are simply placeholders, so they may 
not be the correct icons used, nor are they perfect.)

Thanks!
Lee
