Yes, because it's a <div> with overflow set to scrolling in the CSS...

That's fixed in KDE 4...

Yes, that's the main problem of Konqueror (which I'm using myself)...
That issue also appears if you jump to an anchor in the middle of the page: 
Konqueror will always show the beginning of the page :(

No, framesets are a big no-no for several reasons: 1) multiple files involved 
2) bookmarking is not possible, 3) accessibility issues, etc.

fully handle the CSS we have...
It works fine in opera and firefox.
