[PATCH] Crash in KBookmarkManager

Hej,
there was a bug report for okular that KBookmark(Manager) crashes
(actual it asserts) when you try to add a bookmark to an empty (invalid
xml) bookmark file. A similar report exists for konqueror as well.
The problem is that if KBookmarkManager parses the xml document and
doesn't find the document element, it just prints a warning and
continues. Unfortunately some other code (e.g. KBookmarkManager::root())
expects that there is always a document element... so the design is
somehow broken.
The attached patch fixes this issue by always creating a default
document element if none is found. That fixes the crash and seems to be
the logical way of doing it ;)
Ok for commit?
Ciao,
Tobias
P.S.: I'll commit a slightly different patch, for better overview I
didn't changed the indentation in the attached one.
