As we discussed on #rekonq earlier today I'm personally fine with  "Ctrl+L,
backspace".
Your other suggestion to add a button in the UI is pretty much what I was
proposing in order to keep things simple and flexible:

<elproxy> shadeslayer: Lionel__: guys how about an optional button in the UI
that could be next to the urlbar, it's not über-consistent with the other
lineedits in KDE, but at least it has the benefit of being optional
<shadeslayer> hmm
<elproxy> and people could place it elsewhere too, for instance if they want
it to the left...
<shadeslayer> idk .... it can be done
<shadeslayer> or remove it completely
<elproxy> yes, that is what *I* will do on my machine

Lionel was considering an optional button still within the url bar.

Other cool ideas anyone ?

Cheers,
