Please don't.  I think there is a difference.  
IMHO People very seldom paste to the Alt-F2 box.
For pasting operations the button is very convenient. 

My typical pattern of use of konqi's location bar is:  

- Highlighting a URL with the mouse (from some text, a konqi window, ...)
- Clearing the location bar using that clear button
- Pasting using the MMB
- Hitting that big Enter button to submit

Steps 1-3 are done using the mouse.  

Removing that button would mean: 

- Highlighting a URL with the mouse
- Clearing the location bar by 
  - Left clicking the correct position
  - Pressing Ctrl-U or Ctrl-K (here I'd have to change to the keyboard)
- Pasting using the MMB (here I'd have to change back to the mouse)
- Hitting that big Enter button to submit

Or did I miss something?
(But then that would probably happen to other people, too) 


Christian.
