 I don't know how to fix that ... somebody? Typing 'about:blank' in konqy 
showing www.kde.org doesn't do anything besides clearing the location bar 
(caption is the same, favicon is the same, even what's shown is the same). 
Perhaps because 'about:blank' is handled as a special case of showing KHTML 
(and I suppose that means having 'about:blank' as the default in the profile 
doesn't really make the startup faster, does it? :(  ).
