WTF ??!?!?!  Where in the world did I say that this fixes a crash ??  Alex
please fell free to revert the patch if you feel so disgusted by it.  We allow
not only the user but also the app programmers to set this value to whatever
they want.  So what have you accomplished by keeping the string to
Konqueror/blah blah ???  At least I made sure that by supplying a default that
includes the KDE_VERSION tag and the CLEARLY STATED Konqueror one can easily
find out which Konqy version this is.  If the user had simply changed this default string,
you would not have this at all !!!!!  So see what I did is actually an improvement!!!
Anwyays,  you are welcome to revert it if you choose.  I have no problems with
it since I can set mine to whatever I choose....
