Have you really tried the patch? The open file dialog has a Location lineedit 
where you can enter http://www.kde.org and it will come up fine in Konqueror. 

For directory opening you are right, you should use the Location bar. But even 
in the previous version you had to enter the directory and couldn't use the 
file select button to open a dir, only to open a file. Now it's just a matter 
of where do you enter the dir name.

I mostly used for opening files. For others I used the existing Location bar. 
Can't pronounce about others....
