It can take a long time to cancel a search.  Next time, wait a while -- 
it can take a minute or more.

This is an issue that needs to be fixed.  The problem is just that it is 
very slow which I wouldn't call a bug.

If Konqueror or the DeskTop won't launch KWrite, it is probably because 
the initialization was screwed up by killing Konqueror.  Open a Konsole 
and run:

	kdeinit

This is a bug.  It should run: "kdeinit" automatically when needed.
