Later on someone pointed me to a kde-app that does that and more: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/tweaK?content=51170 So I just let the idea die... Anyway, afaik, middle click to close doesn't really conflict with middle click to open URL in selection. You middle click on a tab to close it but you middle click inside the window or anywhere else on the tab bar (empty space) to open the URL in the selection. So it's not really a big issue. More like no one was probably interested to make the changes, or at least test out the patch. (Patch not tested in KDE 4...). More from where that came from: http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Hidden%20configuration

I would like to see the option in the GUI as well for it. However, I think that you need to disable the current use for the middle mouse button in Konqueror. Settings -> Configure Konqueror Go to Web Behavior on the right. Deselect (remove the check) from the Mouse Behavior section for the Middle mouse button. Ahh, ya you found and oldy but a goody there.

Similarly Amarok refused to add MMB queuing/dequeuing because it’s paste. I don’t think I ever wanted to paste a filename onto a track on a playlist, but YMMV of course :) https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101473 — okay, I didn’t search too much for it, and this did fix it for konqueror (with the mentioned hidden option), but the reasoning here I’ve seen in some other bugs before.
