I think those change break "always accept cookies for a particular domain".
I keep being asked for cookies for the same domain even after telling it to accept
all cookies from the domain.
Looking at my kcookiejarrc, I suspect that the hostname is saved instead of the
domainname. I see an entry saying
www.pilot.sainsburystoyou.com:Accept
and that's a hostname, not a domainname.
