That's because Cervisia is not part of Konqui. You would have to deactivate 
Cervisia for that. (Or request that Cervisia does not show a button by 
default, since it is a rather advanced app)

You could argue to remove some buttons on the default config, then make  
bugs.kde.org feature request. Hiding the menu bar is certainly not an issue, 
it just confuses users. A feature that is not visible does not exist (for 
most users).

That would be confusing (since it is completely nonstandard and no one expects 
this), makes clicking much more difficult and not than easier (Fitts law) and 
is not that easy to implement, since QPopupMenu and friends do not support 
this.
