Hmm, ok, now I actually tried some of the other special buttons.

Anyway, I'd expect it to open a terminal if I click this button. 
The K-menu button and the quickbrowser button (does actually anybody really 
use it ?) have another primary purpose, they present a choice. The terminal 
sessions button is a konsole button additionally offering a way to select 
among the various session types.
Or put it in another way: for this button it would be clear what should happen 
if it is clicked (without chosing something else), for the K-menu it is not 
clear.
The same goes for the "Preferences" button, it should IMO open the control 
center when clicking it.

So, all in all, for me the current behaviour of the terminal sessions button 
sucks. Anybody else who has this feeling ?


Btw. I just tried the "Find" button for the first time, the "Web search" entry 
produced an error message "Malformed URL %20" followed by an empty konqy 
windows. What is the intended behaviour ?

Bye
