           Summary: KTabBar improvement : Uniform close tab on middle
                    click action for every KDE apps + same size
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.5
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: simon.esneault at gmail.com


Version:           4.5 (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

Some KDE app close their tab on middle click (dolphin, kdevelop, etc ) while
some others doesn't (konsole, konqueror, kopete, akregator)

Thx to some web browser (firefox, chrome, etc) this behavior (close on middle
click) tend to be a default these days. Shouldn't all kde app using KTabBar
make use of this ? IHMO this should be a default right in kdelib, by connecting
the signal : mouseMiddleClick(int index) to the signal closeRequest(int) or
something like that.

Also tab that adapt their width to the tab title is a non sense. All tab should
have the same width, and make use of elided text when there isn't enough room
for the whole title (it should then appears in a tooltip instead). Google
Chrome is a very good example of an app with a good tab browsing/navigating.

Thx for everyone's job on kde !
