[PATCH] Konqueror Home URL

[Robert Knight]

Hi,

I have to say, I find the dialog somewhat confusing from the
screenshots.  Adding the label and combobox to the right leaves very
little space for the URL entry.  If I were a newcomer to Konqueror I
would be clueless about what the "Profile name" box is for.

I cannot think of a really good solution to the problem, but some ideas:

- Only display the home URL for the active profile when opening the
dialog.  Opening the dialog when browsing the web would show the home
web page there.  Opening the dialog when using the file manager would
show the file manager home there.

- Have two separate boxes for the file management and web browsing
profiles, and another button which opens a dialog which allows the
home URL to be set for any additional profiles.

eg:

File browsing home:   [ URL Entry]
Web browsing home:  [ URL Entry]
[ Button which opens profile-specific settings dialog ]

Regards,
Robert.
