Why is the edit bar on the bottom?

I hope that broken means it only shows 10 results. If not, then I'm reporting that it only shows 10 results. (:

It isn't recognized at all in Konqueror, which seems to display a
broken version of the ubuntu theme regardless of which theme is
chosen. I used Firefox to choose the theme, and I cleared Konqueror's
cache to test it.

The theme worked fine in Firefox for a while, but after I loaded a
few pages, it got stuck on the Tags page and just kept refreshing any
other page I chose to the Tags page. It didn't matter whether I
clicked a link for another page or used a bookmark or typed another
page's URL into the address bar - it just always put me at the Tags
page (which was one of the pages I had loaded at one point).

Also, although it's an attractive presentation in a way, I think you
gave up a lot of screen real estate to achieve it, and I definitely
think the red links have to go.

My two cents. (:
