Correction, you're right :) --> "It will hapen that people will leave the 
window open if they go back the KControl and after setting a lot they will 
have to click in every module window on the close icon. I also see this 
problem now by some IE users (I had this problem too long ago in that times I 
used IE) which opens many links in a new window."
