I will be hated here. Sigh.

Please look at Mozilla. Although distance between Gecko and KHTML was
reduced almost to none (but still exists!) with development of KHTML in
last year, Mozilla was really improved in terms of usability. Moz
solutions can (and should) be shamelessly copied. In 90% of cases it
will be improvement. The last 10% is a "problem" of Konq as Everything.
Example:
Konqueror - Add Bookmark
Mozilla - Bookmark This Page

Moz phrase is much more descriptive and easier to understand. But for
Konq this won't work in File Manager context. Solution:
Bookmark This Location - this string can be used everywhere.
