KDE konqueror seems to run well on the the E desktop provided with Mandrake
9.1 and links to various programs can be set up on that. I assume other
versions of KDE will run similarly. A new directory /folder containing links
can be set up to open as default.
However, to my mind, it's rather against the concept & advantage E.
Ie. a nice clean desktop!
