I agree, this sounds like a much more usefull solution than bookmarks partway 
through the page. If we implement this, we should also add the option to load 
the last state (which is always saved as a session when you exit Konqueror).

However, I don't think this would be very usefull for the filemanagement 
profile. What do you think?
