another good reason from from my perspective, i'm planning to add 
a feature "undo last tab close" for 3.3 (yeah. i forgot to add it 
to the features list..) and having pressed ctrl-w a few many times 
on a few many occasions i really don't like the idea of loosing.

umm.. maybe i should just add a "last closed windows" section to 
the history sidebar?, that would be much easier than the undoing 
of last closed tab, and not that much less useful. oh, and way less 
confusing, and it can provide for a few situations that the undo 
can't (e.g, when you wish to get the last but one its a bit stupid 
to undo twice and then close)

actually, the history sidebar sucks from what i saw of it last
time i tried - for example, still no division by day/week ; 
something that i know most IE users *really* miss. i'll stick a 
rewrite on my 3.3 list.

Thomas, while you're in the thread anyways would you mind 
commenting on the history sidebar and share any possible ui 
improvement ideas you have? ;-)

thanks,
babbling Alex
