You are right, it is a collective decision. 
For add an argument: soon or later, webkit kpart for Konqueror will be 
fonctional. If we do the same thing, Rekonq will not have reason to exist.

No new item in the tools menu. It is a global config. The user do not toogle 
bookmarks all the time. It must be in the config panel. Perhaps we could remove 
the bookmark button, when the bookmark bar is enabled. If we do that we must 
provide a way to add/remove/edit bookmarks. A star icon at the right of the 
bookmarks bar, with only these actions.
