Thanks for your answer. 

I have just subscribed to the kwrite-devel mailing-list and have sent a mail 
about my patch. Waiting for the answer now...

I added this new feature (the quick browser regexp) just to see if I could do 
it. And because I wanted it for a while. Otherwise, no new translation is 
needed, as I added just one string that is already translated.

As for working on KDE 4, it is too early for me. The KDE 4.1 RC1 is not usable 
on my machine at the moment - maybe in October with the release of Mandriva 
2009 with a more recent QT4 library.
