Thanks.

I have done something wrong ? I created two branchs, one for urls, one for 
tools menu.

Ok.

Ok.

Ok, that was not clear.

Ok.

You never saw because we are breaking the standard kde UI. And I think it is a 
good thing. The standard kde UI is good for complex applications like 
kdevelop. It is too heavy for a browser. People spend most of their time on 
their web browser, if we make an attractive browser, kde will be attractive.

Advanced users don't need a copy button ^^. The idea of this mockup, is that 
the button automatically change. For example, the translator in one click 
would be a greet feature for me ^^.

Ok, You are right. Why not just after the text/url ? It may include other 
actions, like clear. But only displayed when the mouse is over the url bar. 
All the time it is ugly.
