OK, how shall we proceed? I can see 3 options:

1. Make the change now (it's actually a bug fix because tab moving is
broken at the moment).

2. Make the change in KDE 4.5.

3. Get further feedback (maybe from usability people) before a decision is made.

David, what do you think? If we go for 1., we should maybe do it
before Beta 2 is tagged.

Best regards,
Frank
