Nope. I mean #3.  The cookiejar preforms reference counting of all windows 
accessing a specific site.  Any cookie set by that site is not deleted until 
all windows accessing it are closed or the process dies (a crash).  Of 
cource, this is minus any un-identified bug(s) that might cause this to fail.
Regardless of the remaining issues however password/cookie caching will work 
much much better and consistently under the upcoming KDE 3.1.

No need as we (the two developers involved) have had a long debate
discussion about it and decided on the above course of action based 
on our own experience and constant request we have about being able 
to open a new window on specific sites that use cookies.
