Ok, it's just fine, now that option is not working any more great!

I am currently using KDE 3.1 RC5, when you say "Fixed for KDE 3.1" does it 
mean
it is already fixed on RC6 or it will be fixed for the stable version, 
because I
would like to know if I can download RC6 an test it right now (It would be 
fantastic!) or if I have to wait for stable version.

I have followed your explanation, but now an error appears in the place 
konqside used to be, when I open a directory with Konqueror it shows, "There 
was an error opening /home/test/ it is a directory but a file was expected" 
:-(
Mmm any idea? perhaps I must remove something else

Well in fact it is not a toolbar (sorry) it is the menu bar that usually 
goes on top of any KDE (M$ Windows) window where the options Direction - 
Edit -View -Go - Bookmarks -Tools - Options are placed.
