What I do not understand is the sandglass icon used for recently visited 
webpages. An icon referering to a webpage, url, or maybe even the 
thumbnails picture would be a lot better und understandable. Or maybe 
the favicon? I dont know whats technically feasable, but maybe we can 
find something more explanatory?

Why do we have a close icon? Cant the user just tap in the background 
and it closes the overlay automatically? (Once again an interaction 
principle from the desktop that is not needed here in my opinion)

What is the basic layout here? The elements are somehow aligned in the 
middle. I saw that the have the same layout as in the settings app, 
which is good because that means consistency. But is there a special 
reason for putting them in the middle of the page? Wouldnt it be easier 
to put them leftaligned, so if new and longer elements join we dont get 
problems in the width? Just thinking out loud here....

I like the suggestion of Thomas to put something else instead of dEfAuLt 
in the start page text field. Maybe some page related to Plasma Active, 
like the wiki page or plasma-active.org? Or this too much "marketingy" :)?
