Hi everyone,

it seems that tab moving in Konqueror (and any other app that uses the
traditional middle-click tab moving) is broken at the moment:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214646

Regardless of this bug (which should of course be fixed before 4.4.0)
I'm wondering if it makes sense to use Qt's tab moving with the left
mouse button in Konqueror instead.

The advantage would be that it's probably more intuitive (it's been
requested a couple of times on bugs.kde.org, and other browsers like
Firefox and Arora also use the left button for moving tabs) and that
the moving is animated nicely by QTabBar. Moving tabs with the middle
mouse button would still work.

The disadvantage would be that drag&drop of the tab url would not work
any more, but I would guess that this feature is used a lot less than
tab moving?

Any thoughts on this? I'm sorry about starting this discussion just
before the beta tagging, but I've been a bit busy with other things
recently.

Best regards,
Frank
