the scenario that matters is the default one. and in the default one we show 
the lock in 3 places, including the defacto standard location of the status 
bar, and the rather newly introduced location of the location bar. this isn't 
something that requires months, weeks or even days of deliberation: there are 
two other places in the default set up that web pages can not obscure. i 
don't think it's responsible to insist on making konqueror look foolish for 
having the same info in *3* places in the default set up when it's pretty 
obvious with nice bright lock icons and color changes in the location bar.

the security status madness in konqueror has ceased to border on fetishism and 
firmly within the realm of whips and chains at this point. to drive the point 
home, here's the message we communicate very clearly right now:

KDE: security is not optional, but usability is the last thing we care about. 
and did we mention we care about security? a lot. security.
