he he :) this is the kind of feature that will differenciate Rekonq from Arora.

Yes, I imagine that it will not be so easy :(

Yes, PowerDevil runner is not very useful for rekonq :)

I trust you :)

lol, I encountered this problem with KUriFilter in Rekonq yesterday.

Cool. Your help will be very useful.

Mix ?
It is not like a plasma applet moving from amarok to the desktop.
You fear that some rekonq runner will not be able to work without rekonq ? 

I am studying the bookmark runner and evaluate if it would be difficult to 
create an history runner. I have also the idea of opensearch runners. Combine 
webshortcuts and opensearch would be great. Before modifying Rekonq, these 
runners can be tested with KRunner.

Can you share your knowlege ?
