  19 <para>The gzip kioslave is not directly usable, and is intended for use
  20 as a filter.  For example, the tar kioslave can filter a file through
  21 the gzip kioslave, in order to display the contents of a <literal
  22 role="extension">tar.gz</literal> file directly in a &konqueror;
  23 window.</para>
  24
  25 <para>If you click on a file compressed with a <literal
  26 role="extension">gz</literal> extension in &konqueror;, this kioslave is
  27 used to uncompress it and display it as a normal (uncompressed)
  28 file.</para>
