Couple of things about Dolphin...

1)  Now that Dolphin has Tab as well as multiple window support, would
it be possible to add "Open in New Tab" and "Open in New Window" to the
top of the Dolphin context menu?  I fail to understand why Dolphin
doesn't have these in the context menu; they're probably the most used
commands in a file manager.

2)  Um, since both Dolphin and Konqueror are going to be looking for
entries in the Actions menu, wouldn't it be a good idea to put Action
menu entries in one place, preferably separate from both programs and
have both look there for the necessary entries?  Having to make two
copies of things in the Actions menu seems both inefficient and
annoying, and AFAICS doesn't work right anyway.

3)  Would it be possible for Dolphin to open archives using the kio_tar
and kio_zip slaves?  It's kind of annoying having to bring up Ark every
single time I want to work with an archive; IMO, it's overkill for
simply taking files out of an archive...

Also, I would consider this a bug, but you can't switch between tabs 
when  you're dragging a file in Dolphin, making the creation of symbolic 
links much more annoying, unless you use multiple windows generally 
(personally, I don't if I don't have to).
