I don't use Konqueror as a web browser at the moment, partly because I prefer Firefox's interface and extensions to Konqueror, and partly because I'm using KDE 3.1, and Konqueror isn't anywhere near as good as it is in later versions. It's certainly not the same kind of crippleware that comes with Windows.
It's probably a Karamba / SuperKaramba theme. Originally, Karamba was intended to display data on the desktop (such as the info bar on the right-hand side of the desktop). It gets used for all kinds of other things too, like the OS X-style dock, email notifiers, news and weather...
I don't know which one it is though. There are at least three, probably more.
You're stuck with that bottom bar. I've never figured out how to get rid of it, or make another. You should be able to get rid of the translucent bar fairly easily though, it looks redundant.
I remember everyone loving Linux back in the day. All I ever heard was distro talk and it seemed everyone with an interest in computers was on Linux by default. Now I never hear about it. What happened?

I have no idea. I've spent most of the last decade putting my life in order, and didn't have time to take care of computer stuff. Most of my stuff is outdated.
However, my guess is that most people in the Internet doesn't have an "interest in computers" anymore.

I dunno if this has anything to do with it, but Mac OS X switched to Intel platform and a lot of people who were interested in *nix flocked to it. At least for me personally, that's what happened, and I know OS X is a popular platform for programmers.
These days I do everything on Macs (although I have a Windows VM for anything Windows-specific), and I use FreeBSD for my firewall/server.
