Can I use KDE's Konqueror in XFCE4?

I really like Konqueror.  It's the most used KDE app for me.  Is it possible to install Konqueror in XFCE4?  Or do the install requirements (viz. KDE dependencies) negate the speed/memory advantages of XFCE4?

No problem - provided that you have at least a minimal Kde-Installation (look out for kdemod in this forum). Such a parallel installation does not affect XFCE-performation at all - it just takes up some space on your root-partition. But XFCE also allows you to start up with KDE or Gnome runtime environment (Check in settings manager). This will slow down XFCE at startup, but gives you quicker access to KDE or Gnome apps - if you use a lot of KDE apps (like myself), it is truly worth it.
