Yes. But as all combos have the same content, it would be quite stupid to 
clear only one of them (and later not knowing which one is saved).

Hmm, I don't see a big problem with this.

All running Konqueror (instances and windows) have the same browsing history 
and I suppose the user knows about that. So clearing it should clear it 
everywhere, I don't see anything wrong with that.
