== Summary ==

Make Dolphin the default file manager in Kubuntu

== Rationale ==

Dolphin is the default file manager in KDE 4.  We should be ahead of the curve and adopt it in Kubuntu's KDE 3 setup.

== Use Cases ==

Krissy wants to use Kubuntu and can easily find her files with Dolphin.

== Scope ==

Settings, main inclusion.

== Design and Implementation ==

Add Dolphin to the Kubuntu desktop seed. There are no other dependencies outside main.

Set Dolphin as the application manager for inode/directory and directory-locked to dolphin in kubuntu-default-settings.

Replace the "storage media" icon with a hard disk icon, the current icon is meaningless.

Dolphin lacks the right click service menu to compress files or folders.  Reimplement it as a .desktop service file which calls Ark, rather than as a kpart which calls Ark.

Ensure good documentation for changing back to Konqueror by default covering both the GUI, via the ComponentChoser KCM Module, and command line methods.
