> The huge thick bar separating the sidebar from the rest of konqueror is, IMHO, absolutely fugly.

I'd word that a little more diplomatically (aka Blixed). ;)

Besides that I have to agree, Konqueror's "Navigation Panel" is well on the way delivering direct access solutions to every problem you did (and didn't =P) think of. This as a feature on its own is very welcome, but I see less and less use for it in one program's window where it most of the time just takes away space for the content while still not having enough space to be really useful itself (aka crowded). Add to this that it might well be open in multiple of your multiple Konqueror windows and you can't resist calling it a bloath of view space.

So my proposal would be: Considering that the "Navigation Panel" is more an more becoming a system tool rather than a sidebar for Konqueror, how about making it independent of Konqueror and show it as a part of the desktop's left (or right) border instead? Then you can access all your content and services all the time, and Konqueror can focus on itself again. =)

(Should I log that as wish at buggy?)
