already discussed here and on the kfm-devel list; the Go key can be removed, 
but the clear key is still desirable.

good point, though i wonder how many people use that button? all other 
browsers have it as well...

you probably won't want to print before the page is loaded, either, but we 
still keep them as separate buttons. and one may wish to reload before the 
page finishes loading (i've done it often enough, especially on slow loading 
pages =). overloading UI elements is rarely a good idea for reasons of 
clarity;"reload" and "stop" are not the same action at all.

this is a widget style issue, nothing to do with the current "konqueror 
bookmarks" discussion.
