"but what window manager allows you to split the screen the way konqueror does withoug having to manage window sizes, but rather uses panes and allows taskbars within panes? "

I use several. Take a look at <a href="http://wmii.de/" title="wmii.de">http://wmii.de/</a wmii.de> or <a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~lab1701/larswm/" title="earthlink.net">http://home.earthlink.net/~lab1701/larswm/</a earthlink.net> or <a href="http://www.modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/" title="modeemi.fi">http://www.modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/</a modeemi.fi>

theoretically, ion3 or even larswm could handle running even the likes of Kickerwith some careful sizing.

Webbrowsers are good for webbrowsing, file managers are good for managing files. Mix the two and you can't help but either compromise features or have useless cruft in the code.
