Apparently it is not. The issue that causes the prompt shown in the
bug report is caused by something else. I swear the issue went away
when I was testing the fix, but I can replicate it again now ; so
something else is caused this in khtml. I cannot duplicate the bug in
kdewebkit. Anyhow, I will revert it in 4.7 and master. Too late for
4.6.5, but since this does not affect anything, I will leave it alone
there.
