Enhancing Konqueror

Hello, here's a list of features I suggest could be added to Konqueror:
- A Wand: Click a wand icon, and Konqueror auto-fills for you the
form with your login and password and submits the form automatically
(pretty neat)
- A Google/Wikipedia search field next to the location bar such as in
Opera or Firefox.
- Make the .html handled by default by Konqueror so that when you
click a link, the page doesn't load in Kate.
- A Session-saver: You can save the current session with the open
tabs, and re-open these tabs later on. Also you can auto-save current
session on exit so that if you close Konqueror and re-open it, you
don't loose the last pages you visited
- Use more cache memory: When you hit "Back" or "Forward", Konqueror
doesn't need to reload the pages. Just reload from cache, and it
becomes as fast as Opera.
- Close tab button should be on the tab (on the right), and not in
the corner, it's more convenient
- Web site icon should be on the tab on the right
- New tab button
- Open new windows in new tabs
- Default smart pop up blocker
- Authorized pop ups open in new window
- Home URL should be blank
- Mouse gestures like Opera (I'm missing them so much)
- Activate previous used tab when closing the current tab
- Disable "Focus Window" in JS
- Web shortcuts: add 'g' for Google, add also 'pbi' to look for
applications on the PBIDir
- Use cache whenever possible
- Dock the download manager into Konqueror (having the download
manager poping up is extremely annoying).
- Toggle on/off style-sheet for current page
- Switch user-agent for current page (for web sites that reject Konqueror)
- Support for AJAX version of Gmail:
