kfm doesn't. Konqui, the KDE 2.0 file manager does. It can allegedly
even do Java with an external JVM.

But the layout engine is no match for Mozilla, IMO. Someone was
suggesting that Konqui guys should borrow the layout engine from
Mozilla.

Other interesting development is ditching CORBA (which is a too
much of a bloat for the desktop) in favor of DCOP. Even Mozilla
has something called XPCOM. XPCOM is a reimplementation of the
Microsoft DCOM interface. DCOP is similar technology, 
but a different interface.

Can't wait to see KDE 2.0.
