3) Sometimes I want to go up to a system folder and Konqueror won't open it. I'm sure this is because I am logged in as jjj, not as root. I wouldn't mind if it would pop up a window and ask for my root password, but it just sits there, won't open the folder, and does nothing. How do I fix this?

4) I set it to tree view, but it does not display a "tree," at least not in the way I think of a tree view.

Note: Split window may be what I am looking for, but I can't find the menu option to set it to split window.

5) When I right-click on a file and tell it to send it to the trash, it deletes the file, but the file does not appear in the trash.

It just deletes it. So far I haven't lost anything, but sooner or later I will. I want the safety of the trash so I can restore a file in case I accidentally deleted the wrong one. Is this perhaps a bug?

kfmclient exec /home/yourusername

That is a strange behaviour I haven't experienced yet.
Can you give an example path that triggers this?

Try the sidebar (F9 toggles it)

I believe you can save that as part of the profile configuration (Settings->Save View profile file manager)

Can you check if it might be a problem regarding the implementation of trash in KDE vs. GNOME, i.e. check if the URL trash:/ inside Konqueror shows the files.

Actually KDE and GNOME should be implementing the same trash specification exactly for the interoperability thing and I think both versions are new enough for that.
Maybe you can ask on a Ubuntu forum to clear that up.

Konqueror has a "search files" entry in its tools menu.
The standalone KDE program for this is kfind.

Use this as the start command
kfmclient exec path
for example
kfmclient exec /home/yourusername
