Not really. The configuration for the Trash bin in kcontrol effectively
controls which action should be mapped to Ctrl+Del. But I agree that
this is not really good.

IIRC there was a problem with Del, that's why I chose Ctrl+Del.
The problem being: when one hit 'del' to correct a URL in the location bar,
it triggered the action. That may be a flaw in the accel mechanism
(they are be triggered whichever widget has the focus), but... well...
this goes deep down into Qt AFAIK.

Oh... how much this triggers bad memories from kfm.... :(

Does anyone else know if there is a way to avoid triggering the
"del" action when the focus is in the location bar ? Note that we don't want
to disable the action completely, since one might open the Edit menu
from there...
