Hi

I'm not a KDE developer, and I'm not sure for the KDE version where the 
features were added...

Useless (use the web shortcuts in the adress bar : gg, wp...), but available 
since KDE 3.4, by default.

?
Since KDE ... 2 ? by default.

It's not that easy.

Why ? It takes more room...

Why ? It's illogical: icons are on the left in any KDE app, why does konqueror 
needs a different behaviour ?

I don't know

Available since KDE 3.3

Since KDE 3.5

Same as above ?

It's only your settings !

Since before KDE 3.3, by default.

Configurable since before KDE 3.1, by default.
