konq, redux

What's bothering me right now, since I just ran up Konq after Mozilla fell over on doonesbury.com (it's the flash, you see):
  • fonts: I've set it to Sans 12, which seems reasonable but turns out to be a lot bigger than I expect. Setting it to Sans 10 makes no visible difference, which is WRONG.
  • the nav bar: I run mozilla with bookmarks open in the left-hand sidebar. The best I can manage in Konq is to have the nav bar open; it's got a bunch of icons that I can place on the left or right of the nav bar, but can't hide; and it doesn't remember the state of the bookmarks, i.e. if I expand a bookmark folder, then quit konq and restart, that folder is closed.
  • page nav menu bar: it doesn't have one. turns out i actually use this a fair amount, and only miss it when it's gone
  • Ctrl-T starts a terminal instead of opening a new tab.
Mostly I've beaten it into the shape I want, and it does a lot of things right, such as automatically running flash player under arts to avoid the very thing that I think is at the root of the mozilla hang. (pointers to fixing the above gripes - not explanations as to why they're the right thing, pointers to fixes - appreciated)
