Just a comment: I have just the opposite desire in Mozilla -- I want to be able to start separate instances. My problem is that I may have as many as 150 Mozilla tabs or Windows open at any time. *When* (not if) Mozilla crashes, I lose all those pages, some of which may be open wiki (TWiki) edit windows. There are some workarounds -- you can define additional Mozilla profiles and then each is a separate instance, and there is at least one Mozilla manager that attempts to remember the status (to some degree) of each open window so you can more easily recover after a crash. (I haven't quite got either of these working -- the manager that I know about requires Java, and I'm trying to puzzle out which files to copy to all profiles so as to preserve my preferences -- doesn't quite work as documented.) Anyway, my real point here is that if konqueror goes in one direction to support a way of minimizing instances, they should not go too far -- there should be a user friendly way to create multiple instances.
