Hello !

After a period of about a month, during which we have been quite busy with 
university afairs like exams and so on, we have come back to develop for 
konqueror in our project (konqueror on steroids remember? ;-)

We took your suggestions and implemented them! Now the closed tabs feature can 
be accessed in different ways:

* There's a toolbar icon which you can clic to get last closed tab, and as in 
other toolbar buttons like "Back", "Up" or "Forward", it has also a dropdown 
menu that lists last 10 closed tabs. Note: more than 10 item are stored in 
memory, but only last 10 are shown.

* We have also added a closedTabs submenu into Go menu, exactly 
after "History" submenu.

* Now it manages not views but tabs: if you close a tab wich contains 2 or 
more views, it will remember the tab and if you restore it, it will restore 
all the views and in the same disposition and size as thy were in the first 
place !

* it's also nicely integrated in the Undo button :D

The patch is attached to this email, and in [1] there 's a tarball with the 
icon that my fellow team mate created for the "closedtabs" button. It's a 
temporal icon that should go inside kdelibs/pics/crystalsvg. If we change to 
the new KDE icon theme it probably should get a new one, but till then we 
need it.

Thepatch is agains kdebase trunk, because it touches both libkonq and 
konqueror. We'd like you to review it and give us feedback. We'd love to see 
it added to konqueror ;-)

Have a nice carnival day!
            Eduardo Robles Elvira.
