It's true. You don't want to remove the sidebar (that's something you do with 
"x"), but just to hide it. The actual way may seem counteintuitive at the 
beginnning, but it seems the right way to do these things to me too.

It works in the same way not only in konqueror, but also in kate, in quanta 
and in amarok, and maybe in some other applications.
So when you use kde for a while you get used to it, I think (I got used to it 
a lot of time ago).
