KSideBar is a little plugin for konqueror side panel that show some useful links and informations. The idea was brought from various html-based similar sidebars i saw on kde-looks.org .

Instead KSideBar layout is based on c++ :), this way it (will) can be very flexible and complete.. The only difference now is the "Details" panel which shows common infos for resources.

Here's a screenshot.
