I'll comment here about ALL the mockups and about your previous merge 
requests:

1) You are a God doing mockups. I'm really astonished!!

2) You have to absolutely use the main git rule: ONE FEATURE, ONE BRANCH to 
not merge together different features that need to be discussed separately.

3) Tools Menu mockup: for me, it's approved. We can implement it for 0.2 
release as we need just to re-order actions. We can perhaps add there the 
entire "help" menu to leave "configure" action in last place (the more useful).

4) Setting rekonq to not have at all the menubar is not perhaps a good idea. 
Let's pass a release with the new Ui and we'll see better!

5) Print Preview is (for me) a bugfix and I WANT IT! Please create a branch, 
implement it and perform a merge request ASAP :)

6) Clear Private Data is very good idea, but it needs a good implementation, 
so it's surely ok, but postponed to 0.3

7) ShortCuts && Toolbars settings in reKonfig menu are a NEW idea. Really never 
seen it! Anyway, if we provide a so cool UI, we can think about prevent people 
from change it. And also bookmarks toolbar is going to be an obsolete concept: 
Chrome doesn't have and firefox is going to remove it.

---- 

8) "Action Contextual Menu" is another good idea. I'm not sure we need that 
icon there, but I really like it. The 3rd mockup needs improvements because I 
wanna find place somewhere there for icons that usually go in the (low right 
position) status bar.

Many thanks for all these!
