You raise good points but at the same time, the use-case for the dialog should 
not be adjusted toward making it easier for large corporations to click-
through their broken certificates.

Large corporations that use KDE will not be compiling it from kde.org but will 
instead be purchasing it via a distribution vendor, who can make any necessary 
dialog fixups/changes to support the needs of the corporation.
