oh, i wasn't saying we should remove the "Open in new tab" item... just being 
friendly and noting that even though it's in the menu (as it should be) i 
personally use the quicker MMB...

which is why i said perhaps for 3.3 when dealing with the toolbars. it would 
be Really Good(tm) if we could get Konqi's default web browsing mode toolbar 
down to one line, including the location bar. other browsers manage this, i 
think we can too. at that point we may have some more screen space to 
waste ;-)
