Well the patch looks good with a few exceptions.  I do not like the
distinction made for the "mailto" url.  There are/might/will be other
protocols that have the same scheme as the mailto and they would
not be treated the same :( 

2.) The same patch needs to be made for KCombobox so that the behavior
is consistent across both of these widgets.

3.) Make this a configurable option by adding something like the following
two methods:

setEnableDecodedURLDrop( bool );
isDecodedURLDropEnabled() const;

so that people would not complain about the reverse it not being to handle
the previous behavior...
