I did not place it to a appropriate place, but probably can give some explaination \
about the root cause:

Dolphin uses the standard Qt mechanism for tab handling (QTabWidget), which is \
available since Qt 4.4. If I remember correctly from some old mail threads: Konqueror \
uses KTabWidget, which offers a custom way for moving tabs (this was required for Qt \
versions < Qt 4.4). Konsole implemented a custom way of moving tabs since KDE 4.0 \
(4.1?).

I've added the maintainers of Konqueror and Konsole to CC (I'm not sure if my \
information is 100 % correct...)

Best regards,
Peter
