Main problem with .. folder is its placement. It should be at the 
beginning of folder which forces user to "drag" anything to beginning of 
current folder, including slow and erroneous scrolling of its contents 
by holding dragged thing at the edge of window. E. word here isn't KDE 
itself fault: just when you drag item on tab Konq switches to that tab.  
It is a feature, really ;) But margin of error is very narrow here and 
unexpected behaviour can be more confusing for users.

Also you can drop things on address widget, thus it is not something new 
for users, dropping things outside main window. I think it could be 
extended even more: drop something to "Print" button for printing, drop 
on Security button to check files cryptography ability (or inability), 
drop something on find button to look into that file/folder.

It would have two good side effects:
- justify many buttons on Konq toolbars
- improve interaction with Konq in fullscreen mode
