potential disclosure of private data in konqueror

Hi, 

think about this: you fight with copy&paste (thanks to klipper) and you 
accidentally paste something in the location bar of konqueror that shouldn't 
end up there. 

now, konqueror will happily do a google query upon it. which is a cool 
feature. but maybe it was something you didn't want to send unencrypted 
through the wire, and especially not around half of the world. 

Wouldn't it make sense to popup a question messagebox first before we do the 
"fallback-try-google" case ?
