Right now I plan on doing all those things.

Only problem is I cant seem to figure out how to add an item to the 
right-click menu, can someone please tell me how to do that or at least point 
me in the right direction?  I would also like to know how to implement 
middle-click.

Also, I dont know how to add buttons to an individual tab.  The problem I 
beleive is that the individual tabs are not widgets in themselves but are 
drawn by the QTabBar widget.  It would probably be much easier to just have 
one button on the right that just closes the current tab.

The way Galeon does tabs is that it puts a close button on each tab.  The way 
Mozilla does it is that it puts one close button to the right of the tab bar, 
that closes the current tab.  Personally I prefer the way Mozilla does it.  
It seems less cluttered, easier to use, and easier (i think) to implement.
Basically, I support whan Alexander stated in his reply.

As far as having a limit on tab length, I will also be doing that, shouldn't 
be too hard.  I will have to figure out how this configuration things works 
first, then add a max tab length option, among other things, like what to do 
on a middle-click and a right-click of a tab, and what to do on the 
middle-click of a link.

About that error on loading the sidebar, I seem to recall that happening on 
the unpatched konqueror too.  Besides, I dont think that the sidebar is 
really neccessary considering the extended sidebar has all the functionality 
of the normal sidebar and more, with little or no overhead.
