Dave, thanks a lot for your reply! I should've probably mentioned that I'm a 
mere, humble user with basically no programming knowledge ... 

Well, I first of all take from your reply that vertical tabs are possible, 
which is great. Simply ordering the tabs vertically is a first, good step; I'd 
like to experiment with that, so perhaps if you have a second at some point, 
you can explain the steps to me in detail (cf. " find the main tab widget and 
call" ...)

Getting the same kind of functionality in Konqueror as Firefox's Tree Style 
Tab would of course be the ultimate, but I suppose I'd actually need some 
programming skills to do that. Hm, I think I'll just post it as an idea / 
feature request to KDE bugs.

I've so far been using Firefox; it's a great program and I like it, but I'd 
really like to switch to Konqueror in the medium term because I feel I'm 
missing so much of the KDE-specific extra functionality.

Again, thanks for your help,

Bob
