Well the fact that the X server does not know about windows being minimised 
(and therefore neither do the applications), is probably part of the problem. 
Therefore a browser cannot freeze a page, because it may not even realise its 
window is invisible to the user. It could however freeze pages in inactive 
tabs. I'll definitely file a bug on konqi and firefox.

Cheers
