Not true. GMail and Google Valendar don't work with Konqueror. Google appears
to favour Firefox and IE, only later to support Safari. Konqueror and Opera
are, to Google, not worth RoI-wise. Bin the mantra.
And by the way, Google think Web standards are a joke. Hypocrisy by all
means...
Best wishes,
