you likely won't get many bookmarks on it, but it'll be configurable i'm sure.

i think it's fine being gone.

ew. why?

that'd be nice. let's be sure to remember to make the expansion / shrinkage 
animated so that it doesn't appear jerky.

well, i think we need to seriously revisit how konqueror gets put together. 
but before we can do that, we need to wait to see what happens with xmlgui 
and KAction (see threads on kde-core-devel)

i don't think so.

i hate those [X > buttons. they are ugly, not obvious in their purpose and 
very few use them (unsurprisingly). let those who want it add it back 
themselves.

IMHO, no. there are a number of uses for it, none of which are remotely common 
nor necessary. people can add it back if they wish (i assume that this 
toolbar is still somewhat configurable?)
