Thanks - that would explain it.  I guess maybe the presence of "Mozilla 1.6" 
and "Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP" in the browser identification options 
list doesn't actually mean Konqueror has the same capability ....

I've found other references agreeing with you about Gmail working with 3.4.x - 
but sadly there's no changelog info at kde.org at all to indicate when 
support was added.  

For reference by anyone else interested, some useful URLs I found this 
afternoon :

A really excellent write-up of the issue :
  http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/1195
  "GMail and Konqueror"

The last time this seems to have been discussed on this list :-)  ...
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2005/07/msg00263.html

There are posts to kde.org lists all through 2005 discussing patches to repair 
Konqi's broken XMLHTTPrequest code - e.g. 
  http://lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=110139670817086&w=2
  http://lists.kde.org/?l=konq-bugs&m=110643876215402&w=2
  http://lists.kde.org/?l=kfm-devel&m=112916380707309&w=2
so I guess we can't expect Gmail to work properly until whatever KDE release 
incorporated those patches.

Cheers
