This is not the only bugfix in this patch (and the khtml patch):
- java 1.3.1 plugin working
- size problem fixed
- javascript: links work now (http://www.cocacola.com)
- less crashes due to controlled memory management
- debuggability for developers (enableDebugOutput, runWithValgrind)
- (more) correct plugin scanning

The patch needs some cleanup though and it perhaps produces some small memory 
leaks but normally the viewer does not run very long and it's better than 
crashing or hanging in endless loops in malloc which I observed before.
