Hi all,

When I use valgrind together with konqueror, I see the following output
when I switch from an empty khtmlview (appearing just after startup) to
e.g. a directory view:

Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

Well this seems to happen because m_bCleared (member of KHTMLPartPrivate)
was not initialised. At least valgrind claims this. Reading the code I see
that m_bCleared would be initialised in the constructor of
KHTMLPartPrivate.
But I guess that no instance of KHTMLPartPrivate seems to be created at
that time.

The following patch makes KHTMLPart::begin initialise m_bCleared just
before  calling clear instead of after it which seems to make no sense:

     }
   }

-  clear();
   d->m_bCleared = false;
   d->m_cacheId = 0;
   d->m_bComplete = false;
   d->m_bLoadEventEmitted = false;
+  clear();

   if(url.isValid()) {
       QString urlString = url.url();
