The more I think about your position the more I'm convinced that we should do 
that. Lists are such a prominent controls that any advantage will help KDE. 
Perhaps I'll find some minutes tomorrow to conclude my ideas about the 
definition of a new list.

I found this strange behaviour on Kmail and Akregator. Krusader and Dolphin 
behave "normal", like browsing through bash history for instance.

Idea behind left/right could be the icon on a button as found at browsers 
(which is, however, not present in both tools): I have never seen last/next 
(or forward/backward) represented by up/down arrows, only by left/right.
