NOTE: yesterday evening I did have a few things that acted strange.. don't 
know if it was caused by this patch or some other stuff I did to my KDE..  
and it was already late, so didn't really look for the cause. Will try to 
have a look at it this evening. 


Things that failed:
- Preferences special button on kicker didn't show menu anymore
- Cookie module seemed broken

probably some other stuff too..

Caveat emptor!
