Hi Aaron!

I remade the picture on the wiki to use less space for the sidebar and make it 
cleaner.

I found an addon for konqueror that does part of a context sidebar's work. Yet 
I cannot test it, as it does not compile for me and there are only packages 
for KDE 3.3. Had a look at the screenshots though.

What do you think of it? The problem eith this one is, that you have to chose, 
either file-tree, or metabar, yet for beginners the file-tree would not be 
that important I guess.
