I can confirm that this behaviour is very useful. I am forced to use Windows NT at work and use MyIE2 (an IE with tabs). On my linux machine I have dabbled with opera. Now I miss an easy way to close tabs in konqueror. I know that a middle click means paste in traditional Unix. But it also means "open in new tab/window" in the browser context.

So for usability reasons and for the benefit of peoples accustomed to other browsers, I propose closing tabs by middle click.

Pasting urls by middle click is not needed. You could paste on 
a) the address field, to get the url in the current tab. 
b) on the new tab button to get the url in a new tab.
