I mean, leave all the icons there. But hovering over an icon should not do 
anything. It has never done anything in any application, so it is 
counterintuitive to have it do something in Konqueror. Instead, have a plain 
close button, maybe at the right side of the tab instead of the left.

I think (and this is more of a personal opinion) that only the foremost tab 
should have a close button. This would save space, and would prevent clicking 
the close button when switching tabs.

Oh, I didn't know that. I see in Konqueror that it is CTRL-> and CTRL-< or 
CTRL-] and CTRL-[ that is the standard. This is not very kind to keyboard 
layouts other than English, but one could always argue that these are 
customizable. The original problem mentioned was that these keys are not the 
same as in Konsole.
