All good tab systems allow you to middle click on a tab to close it directly. Take it from me, we will standardise for all tab apps on one common behaviour, and my starting point will be having the [x] close tab icon to the right on the tab bar, as FF does it in 1.5. If we are consistent for ALL tabbed apps in Ubuntu/Kubuntu then we will be well ahead of everybody else.
For this release I did try to get them all onto the same shortcuts for new tab, close tab, tab left, tab right, and move-tab-left and move-tab-right. Kubuntu was pretty close to successful, but I don't think seb got Ubuntu done.
