 	I haven't tried dolphin (and am not familiar with those 
other things), but konqueror does have one great use. You can 
tell it, instead of a URL, "man:ls" (or whatever command) and get 
a vastly more legible display of the man page than gnome-terminal 
gives you, especially if you have to use large fonts.

 	Does dolphin do that?
