Heh! No more. Kwest was an effort to make an unified kio-slave for
beagle and kio-clucene. kio-clucene already had some nice UI features
(like virtual folders) that I was thinking of reusing. But the merge
didnot turn out to be as elegant as we thought, and for various other
technical reasons, the project died.
Currently kio-beagle is also in a just-works state. I try to keep it
compatible with beagle but I havent worked on it for a long time :(

They look quite good. Thanks. Let me know when you are done. If you
want, I'd be happy to add your changes to kio-beagle.
