The kde-misc/konq-plugins ebuild ignores the state of the kdeprefix USE flag, making it useless for people with the flag enabled. Given how many popular features (dirfilter, search box, web archiver, etc.) are provided by this ebuild (dirfilter's equivalent is even in Dolphin by default, making Konqueror 4 look bad), this is a significant problem for exactly the kind of users who would USE="kdeprefix". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
The KDE team at the last meeting decided to drop kdeprefix for all apps outside of kde-base - so we're calling this a "feature" and not a "bug".
Mind moving konq-plugins back into kde-base then? It's very unfair to Konqueror to make it non-competitive to Dolphin in this fashion.
It should work installed to /usr if it is not then we have some bug i assume
It wasn't working for me. Thankfully, conditions had made it possible for me to switch away from kdeprefix less than a week before and I was just procrastinating the change.
Should work just peachy with kde-env-4.2.3-r1 and above. Reopen if you feel it is still hating you :]
