The reason I asked you to remove it at NoveHrady was simply because of 
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/basics/quitclose.html
There are lots of reasons (and lots of discussion) that leads to the result 
in the page (including user testing).

If you (Leo) disagree; please first read the list archives (kde-look from 
1998 to 2001) and if you find a good point not mentioned yet that makes it 
valid for a window to close after closing its (last) document, please 
convice the usability team.

Since you quote usability reasons I take it you have thought up a good 
reason why konqueror is allowed to behave differently from each and every 
other application in KDE, if you don't then I suggest to leave the behavior 
as it is now.

Hope that makes things clearer.
