[PATCH] improved kurlbar

[Benoit Walter]

There is another problem, if you constraint the icons you add to have a strict 
size (KIconButton::setStrictSize(true)) in the icon dialog, you will hardly 
find a good icon (especially in the filesystem and devices categories). It 
would be a good idea to remove it from KURLBarItemDialog::KURLBarItemDialog. 
The existing icons in the url bar (desktop, home, devices, network) do not 
have the native size anyway (SmallMedium).
