Hi, there.

It looks like the stock SL6 KDE konqueror web browser does not work for many modern web applications
because of an insufficient javascript implementation.

Sure enough, SL6 seems to arrive with KDE 4.3 which was released in 2009.

Does anybody know how to graft a newer KDE into SL6? (Actually, just a newer konqueror would be enough)

KDE are up to 4.11.2 now...


P.S. Why konqueror? It is the only browser that still can run multiple copies of itself.
Unlike firefox and google-chrome who refuse to start with an error
"this application is already running on computer X" when I sit in front
of computer Y and need to google something. (Computer X is in a different
building and I am google something there *too*) (NIS+NFS cluster).
