Disable close button on Article tab

Description sheeettin 2008-10-17 22:42:57 UTC 
Version:           1.3.1 (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-7-generic

If one opens another tab (e.g. via the "complete story" link), the "feed viewer" tab shows up and has a "close tab" button. If one clicks this button and proceeds to select a feed in the left pane, Akregator immediately crashes.

I'm not sure if the bug is that Akregator crashes, or that the "feed viewer" tab can be closed. :P

Backtrace, if necessary.

Confirmed. This happens when the hover option is checked.

SVN commit 873515 by osterfeld:

Don't allow the hover close button to close the main tab, which crashes
Would be better if we could remove the button alltogether for this tab

Disable close button on Article tab

I want to propose a patch to disable the close button on the main tab. This will make akregator to not confuse user with this do-nothing close button.

FYI: I have sent that patch to kde review board.
