>> Except it doesn't work at all when you have more tabs than fit vertically.

Fade out part of the text, group some tabs together, have a "list all tabs" button for those that don't fit, that's not a deal breaker.
And Konqueror is probably the most extreme case when talking about sidebars.

If there's one of the tabs expanded it gets awfully wide, especially if the document is landscape.

Exactly. As I said I don't really like the Okular solution, but having everything use Okular's sidebar (preferrably collapsible like Opera) would still be superior to doing it in four different ways.
