Does Google Mail really not work for you? What version of Konqueror are
you using?

I don't know if they are still doing this, but Google was repeatedly
breaking compatibility in the past by changing the code they were sending
to Konqueror (they choose code based on User-Agent). If Google Mail
doesn't work for you, I suggest retrieving the latest stable version of
Konqueror, and if that doesn't work, tell Konqueror to lie to Google Mail
and claim to be the latest version of Firefox (Tools->Change Browser
Identification->...)

I aggree, this has worked for me. The only thing that sometimes bug me is the Flash and others plugins. They do not seems to run at all.

I do not use FireFox on my Linux box anymore, only on this win32 one.

Flash works fine for me (using the debian/ubuntu flash installer package)

Google mail works great in Konqueror for me. If I don't change the user agent it ends up in pure HTML mode, but if I etll konqueror to present itself as Firefox to the google.com domain gmail works well in AJAX mode.

I have konqueror 3.5.4, I think.
