Description:

As the title suggests, it appears that kdebase-konqueror depends on kdebase-dolphin to run, or at least function properly.

After removing dolphin, clicking an icon in the folderview desktop gives this error:

"There was an error loading the module Dolphin View.
The diagnostics is:
The shared library was not found."

Then konqueror simply fails to open. This specific error message does not show up again until I reinstall, click an icon, close konqueror, and remove dolphin again. What happens before then, however, is far worse. One of two things will occur depending on whether I've rebooted/logged out and in before doing so:

A) Konqueror WILL open the folder I clicked on, infinitely, in new instances unless I ctrl+alt+backspace... which REALLY sucks if you have "restore session" enabled.

B) Konqueror will NOT load, and just sit there eating 20%+ CPU per attempt to open said folder.

Installing dolphin, the infinite folders thing appears to continue for about 5-8 windows, perhaps some kind of refresh time before KDE notices dolphin is back. Upon closing them, with dolphin installed, everything works fine again.

I have reproduced this with fresh empty folders of .config, .local, and .kde4 all at once, so it is not likely a configuration issue.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

kdebase-dolphin-4.3.2-2
kdebase-konqueror-4.3.2-2

* config and/or log files etc.

N/A

Steps to reproduce:

See description. Just remove dolphin while using a folderview desktop defaulting to Konqueror and wait a minute before clicking on a folder. Weird stuff seems to happen.
This task depends upon

Also, on an odd note, I recall not having any trouble running Konqueror from Konsole when clicking on an icon on the desktop ended up with major problems A or B given in the description.

Yes, konqueror uses parts of dolphin to render its view. If you have problems with this, you should report this upstream.

I do not have a problem with it, it doesn't much matter to me. However, if it's impossible for konqueror to run properly without it, dolphin should be added as a dependency.
