You are aware that you can run Konqueror on a non-Trinity window 
manager, right?  What does all this work to repackage do?  Save a little 
disk space and download bandwidth.  How much?  Is it worth it?  Compared 
to most YouTube views, the disk space and BW for installing all the base 
commands are negligible.

To me, the cost/benefit is too low, but someone might want to do it.
