Ok, it really seems we are mixing too much things together. Let's sort 
out things.

1. Adding a "Privacy" and an "Advanced" tab to settings.
I hope all you'll like this. If not, please explain me why.

2. Moving settings from the Settings Dialog to a "rekonq:settings" link, 
adding them to a tab. I like this possible solution.

3. Removing ok-apply-cancel buttons, letting all changes apply 
on-the-fly. I have no clear idea here if need this or not.
In general this is related to point 2, in the sense that having point 2 
is a necessary but not sufficient condition for point 3.

 From my side, I'll continue working to implement point 1 and wait for a 
common decision about points 2 and 3.

Regards,
Andrea.
