Hm... you seem to be confusing Kubuntu's changes to KDE's defaults. In the 
course of KDE 3.5's lifetime, there was no big change to Konqueror at all. No 
removed menus, no hidden / folders.

It already is, and Konqueror uses it now. Actually there's no other choice at 
all. Konqueror uses the dolphin kpart for file management. But I'm not 
exactly happy with the way it's integrated right now...
