One thing I discussed on a bug report but didn't really go much of anywhere is 
the default behaviour when you close a tab in konqueror.  Currently when you 
close it, it shows the tab that was to the right of the one you just closed.  
In my opinion it should show the one to the left, for a few reasons/examples.  
First, say you have 2 tabs open, and are on the first (left most) tab.  Now 
say you middle click on a link on that page to open the link in a new tab.  
Now you are on the middle tab viewing whatever, and decide to close it.  
Wouldn't it be ideal for it to then go back to the first tab, where you had 
intially been, instead to the more than unrelated site thats on the right 
tab?
A good example of this type of tabbing is clicking on a preview image to get a 
bigger image.  The large image will be the middle tab, and when you close it, 
it will go to whatever the page is to the right (which could be anything), as 
opposed to where you came from.
Also, popups for a page (say a login/password prompt on a popup, ad, 
whatever).  If you click on the tab to view it, input something, etc, then 
close it, it won't take you to the page which the popup originated from.

Just a suggestion with some reasons.  Anyone else agree?
