[rekonq] Re: Clear Button in URL bar

[Rohan Garg]

Hi
I really like what Benjamin is proposing here, although.. the clear button
does not look good when the URL is short, it should be at the extreme right
in the urlbar, and its best if we enable it if the the user hovers on the
urlbar so that s/he does not click it accidently.

I also noticed a green arrow in the 2nd screenshot ( to the extreme left of
the urlbar ), It doesnt seem to do anything for me when i click on it.Is it
just cluttering up the urlbar?
Regards
Rohan Garg
