NOTE: yesterday evening I did have a few things that acted strange.. don't
know if it was caused by this patch or some other stuff I did to my KDE..
and it was already late, so didn't really look for the cause. Will try to
have a look at it this evening.
Things that failed:
- Preferences special button on kicker didn't show menu anymore
- Cookie module seemed broken
probably some other stuff too..
Caveat emptor!
