Because you can *choose* if you want to go back or forward, *both* butons need 
to be enabled. With stop and reload you only have one of them available at 
any time. So, it's not comparable.

We have this "dynamic" behavior in Konqueror. We use the same Konqueror to 
browse different protocols (file:/, web:/, print:/) and dynamicaly change the 
interface so it adapts to the function. 

Anyway, thats just my 2 cents. Regardless of what the defaults are, I still 
would like to have this *option* in Konqueror. But as I'm not a developer, 
that's just a wish.
