This appears to happen about here in "sidebar_widget.cpp:

		QString icon = confFile->readEntry("Icon");
		if (!icon.isEmpty())
		{
			menu->insertItem(SmallIcon(icon),
					 confFile->readEntry("Name"), i);
		} else {
			menu->insertItem(confFile->readEntry("Name"), i);
		}

I see no conditional based on something in:

	$HOME/.kde/share/config/konqsidebartng.rc

So, it appears that it isn't configurable.

And, yes I think that it is a NON-feature.  It should be possible to turn it off.

This has NOT changed in KDE-3.3.0BETA1 so I would add a WishList item:

	http://bugs.kde.org/

And/Or, you can post a small rant on <kde-usability@xxxxxxx>.

Sorry that I couldn't tell you how to fix it without changing the code.
