The konqueror location bar is an exception because it is considered that more 
people want to select the whole address (to copy or clear it) than to select 
parts. 

I'd even go as far as to propose that, deviating from the word by word 
selection, urls in html texts are always fully selected on double clicks 
(that would immensely help on fora that disallow html postings, and also 
don't convert links).

I. e. double clicking on

http://www.bla.invalid/foo/|bar/baz/

where | marks the double click position, will select "bar".

IMHO, it should select the whole url.
But this beyond my proposal.
