I'd like to suggest a context toolbar for Konsole.  I've made a mockup that you can find at the following URL:

The toolbar at the top of the window shows you what directory the shell is currently visiting.  Presumably the shell tells Konsole what the current directory is using escape sequences in the prompt.  The up button issues a "cd .." to the shell, while the back and forward buttons move you to recently visited directories by issuing "cd" commands.

The most important feature is the history of recent directories, accessible from the URL drop-down widget.  Personally, I would save a lot of time if I could navigate this way.
