I think Metabar is an interesting project and maybe could be a way to take 
away some fat of Konqueror Menus. You should work with the Metabar coder on 
it. 

I find the idea of context sensitive sidebars à la Windows XP quite nice but 
when I watch Windows XP users they don't seem to use them a lot. Is it a fact 
that other people have experimented ?

More generally, I think what we need for KDE4  some kind of 
kde-usability-playground where replacements / alternative / enhancements of 
usability for KDE standard applications (KControl, Konqueror, Kicker) could 
be included and tested and if people are happy with it migrated into the main 
line. They are a lot of ideas on KDE-Look from new developers that don't have 
CVS access and it seems that some energy is lost. We should try to push these 
people to take a path from homegrown hack to CVS. 

Cheers,
Charles
