Version: 3.2.0 (using KDE 3.2.0, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.2-gentoo At present (AFAIK), Konqueror only allows tabs to be aligned against the top of the window. I would like to request that Konq also allow tabs to be aligned against the bottom and sides of a window. Bottom-aligned tabs are little different from top-aligned tabs in appearance. Text on side-aligned tabs should still run from left to right, but the tabs themselves should go down the window. Heavy users of the Web such as myself like to have many pages open at once. That means using many tabs and windows. Having tabs running down the side of a page allows many more pages to be managed by one window (no, horizontal tab scrolling or tab shrinking is not an acceptible option), particularly on a high-resolution display. AFAIK, there is no actively-developed Web browser which implements this feature well. The main problem I can see arising from such a feature is that the side-aligned tabs will be too long (and hence will be wasting extraordinary amounts of screen space). This can be dealt with by having some means (either user-configurable or automatic) of shortening tab lengths.
It'd be nice to have that, but I'm not sure if it's a viable option for the GUI (YACO, yet another config option). Perhaps a kconfig key that can be set in konquerorrc (or kconfedit later on)
Galeon does it this way. To have tabs anywhere other than at the top (or to change any of the more 'weird' config options), you need to bypass the GUI and set a gconf key. I think this works well. Expert users are satisifed by having the option they want (and they have the expertise to edit a config file), while newbies are not confused by a plethora of GUI options.

Last comment should have read "sides wish=dupe of 54194". :-)
