"Mozilla-based browsers are the best. They render most pages correctly and enjoy
the commercial support of being the basis for Netscape. However, Mozilla is not
integrated with any desktop environment, making tasks such as printing,
accessing the file open or save dialogs, and cut-n-paste unpleasant."

(I concur.  --Chris)

"Solution? Browser developers need to focus on removing the remaining
impediments to user-friendliness. Mozilla needs to get better desktop
integration (such as being able to specify your mail client, and ditching that
lame file dialog for the default GTK dialog) and anti-aliased fonts for rendering."

(Or dump the front-end completely, and require Galeon to use Mozilla.  The Moz
interface as it is now is SLOWWWWW...  Your primary battle really ought to be
with completeing the engine.

I believe you could make great headway by making the Konqueror engine
replaceable with Mozilla.  Think about THAT!  Thousands and millions of KDE-ites
like myself who have the Gecko engine - which rocks - with nice KDE front end
integration.  WOOHOO, LOOK OUT MICROSOFT!! --Chris)

'Konqueror' is able to use 'Kmozilla' to render pages - but i know what you mean

Verified.

As a note, the reason we do not use the default GTK filepicker is because it's
not usable -- it's support for internationalization is nearly non-existent. 
This is supposed to be fixed in gtk2; so when we move to gtk2 we can reevaluate
the filepicker issue.
