I have been using minitools in the KDE3.5 days, but it's really inconvenient 
compared to having direct support in bookmarks.

I am not a security expert, so I can't say if there is a security issue with 
this patch, but bookmarklets are supported in lots of browsers (IE, Firefox, 
Safari, Arora have them) so I suppose there is a way to implement them 
safely.

Konqueror is quite difficult to extend compared to say, Firefox, having 
bookmarklet support would bring a little more flexibility.
