you will find the sidebar code in:

	kdebase/konqueror/sidebar

two things to keep in mind:

0. this widget is also used in kicker for the universal sidebar. having a 
frame around it there can look pretty silly =) fortunately the widget knows 
if it is in "universal" mode or not.

1. putting a frame around the whole widget can look really bad in konqueror. i 
actually removed some of the frames from the sidebar for 3.5 because of this. 
plastik did a half-decent job of working around this, but check it with other 
widget styles to appreciate the full horror of it in <3.5 ;)
