Description Giovanni Masucci 2008-12-11 15:25:05 UTC

Version:           4.1.82 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Adding View0_ShowStatusBar=false
under "profile" section in 
.kde4/share/apps/konqueror/profiles/webbrowsing
doesn't work in kde 4.x
this used to work in kde3, so right now hiding status bar in konqueror is broken.
I think this should be fixed for 4.2.0 as netbooks like eeepc require a lot of space for browsing given their small screens (800x480 to 1024x600).
(Also I think a "hide status bar" menu option should be introduced for the same reason and for consistency: it's possible to hide status bar in every other browser, and in konqui it's possible to hide every bar but the status bar. Of course, this one will have  to wait for 4.3..i think)

still present in 4.2 beta2 for me , can someone confirm? =)

I intended to file a bug to request an option to hide the status bar as well, before I found your bug report. I'm using Kubuntu 9.04 Alpha 2 with KDE 4.2 beta 2, and I don't see an option to disable the location bar either. This bug should be easy to fix and it's highly desired for monitors with a scarce amount of vertical space, as Giovanni mentioned. Developers, please try to fix this before 4.2, it's definitely a must-have for 4.3 if it doesn't make it in 4.2.

This gets my vote too - I'm /sure/ this was available under 3.5.x. 

(I've just been kde4'd as Debian unstable has just merged the 4.2.2 packages - too many changes in one night for my brain!)

Adding
ViewT0_ShowStatusBar=false
to ~/.kde4/share/apps/konqueror/profiles/webbrowsing
does the trick in KDE 4.9.0
