First of all, thanks for the patch and sorry for the late response. I was not aware of your request before today (I was not responsible for reviewing Dolphin patches last year, and moreover, it's not really a Dolphin issue).

You might want to add David Faure to this request, he is responsible for lib/konq.

About the implementation: There is the risk that loading the 'Places' takes very long (e.g., if there are optical drives or slow USB devices), so it could be that the entire application is frozen for quite some time before the menu is opened. There is some ongoing work to provide a solution for this which might become part of kdelibs in KDE 4.10:

This should also help in scenario where plugged in removable media is not automatically mounted (which is the default setup at least in Fedora). I couldn't find a way to easily extend that functionality, though.
