As discussed for Bug 75653, dragging konsole tabs would make life easier. In respect to usability, I'd suggest an improved visual feedback for the drag of a tab.

While for a dragged file or URL a small grey rectangle near the mouse pointer would fit fine, in case of (konsole) tabs a visual effect probably would fit better: during the pick up of the tab the tab frame could become smaller in the horizontal middle (concave), indicating that the user's currently doing something with the tab, -- yes, pulling on it.

I imagine a powerstrips like look. (cf. http://images.google.com/images?q=tesa+power+strips / the "powerstrips" logo here http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0001M0GVK.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg ). (Sorry, that shouldn't be any ad, but that image is the one I am most familiar with.)
