Well that would then cause problems for entries like ftp-www.kde.org.  That is
why I left out the \.  However this is really a weird problem!!  If one simply types
a single `w` (s)he would also get the same result as well !!  But it does not happen
with `f` or the any other word like "why", "what", "where"...  QRegExp is suppsoed
to match a text that starts with "www" only ; so I do not know why it ends up
matching single characters like 'w' or the word "who" :(

Anyways, I have worked around this issue in code.  Ignoring spaces and requiring the
command to at least be in a pssoible valid short-uri format...  Let me know if it fixes the
problem.
