Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux Instead of the boring start page we currently have in konqueror (http://www.linux-user.de/ausgabe/2005/05/032-konqueror/konqueror.png) I'd love to see something more useful for the user, and in my opinion the best current concept for this is Opera's "Speed Dial" function: http://www.opera.com/img/products/desktop/screenshots/speeddial.jpg
I agree, for me this is the most wanted feature in Konqueror.

Bitte,this function in Konqueror will make me get out of the curse of Opera.
I'm interested in this feature, too, but unfortunately I don't have time to write it myself. However, I have some ideas how to implement it: - The speed dial has to be implemented as a KPart (not a HTML page) which is opened by Konqueror as the KPart is associated with some mime type or file set as start page. The part's UI can be either some advanced list widget or a just static form - Thumbnails for each bookmarked website have to be generated (no idea how, maybe print to pdf?), cached, and shown to the user. - Clicking on thumbnails opens the website in a new window/tab just as KHTML does it with KParts::BrowserArguments.setNewTab(..) and createNewWindow - The whole thing can be made fancy by putting an svg image in the background... If someone is willing to implement this feature, I'm willing to discuss implementation issues and help you coding if possible.
I created a prototype implementation for a Speed Dial for Konqueror. The code is available at my hompage: http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~fischer/speeddial/ Feedback is welcome.
Thank you very much. Though after compilation,I got a blank page with "konqueror example.trs".I know I am far from a adequate tester.So I'm afraid I could not assist you at all. Good luck.
