This message shouldn't be removed, it is just misleading.

The error appears when either no valid URL, or no entry at all is in the
clipboard. Therefore it shouldn't be removed, but changed to something
that explains why exactly using the 'load website from clipboard'
feature didn't work.

Means: it is a usability issue, but not exactly a bug, since the error
message is technical right..... a normal string, for example, is not a
support protocol -> restoring expected behaviour.

Maybe someone could push this upstream?

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: konqueror-kde4
  
  To reproduce:
  - Open a webpage
  - Middle-click the tab
  - Observe the error-dialog stating: "Protocol not supported"
  
- Expected behavior is that no error message appears what so ever.
+ Expected behaviour is that an error message does appear, to explain that
+ the clipboard is empty, so one knows why the middle click isn't working.
+ Maybe even check whether the item in the clipboard is a URL at all, and
+ output an appropriate error message if it isn't.
