Recent KHTML/Qt changes cause crash in Kopete

[Nick Betcher]

Let me first start off by saying that I'm not subscribed to this list, so 
please CC me or kopete-devel.

Recently something in KHTML and/or Qt has broken Kopete and its normal way of 
appending messages. One Kopete devel who has plain Qt 3.1 but does have KHTML 
HEAD isn't experiencing this problem, but users using qt-copy HEAD and KHTML 
HEAD are. To reproduce:

	* Start Kopete

	* Add an IRC contact

	* Go online with IRC

	* Join the channel

	* Crash

It's possible it happens with the other plugins, but I just know for sure that 
IRC does it. Here is our code that appends a message to KHTML: 

		DOM::HTMLElement newNode = chatView->document().createElement( 
QString::fromLatin1("div") );
		newNode.setInnerHTML( resultHTML );
		chatView->htmlDocument().body().appendChild( newNode );
		if( !scrollPressed )
			QTimer::singleShot( 1, this, SLOT( slotScrollView() ) );

Crash occurs on 'chatView->htmlDocument().body().appendChild( newNode );'.

It would be GREATLY appreciated if this could be fixed for KDE 3.1.1!!!! We 
plan to make another Kopete release before the KDE 3.2 release and to have 
users with a KHTML that is broken is unacceptable. If there is anything that 
can be done in KHTML to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. If there 
is a better (and faster - this method is often slow) of appending a message 
to KHTML, please let us (kopete-devel at kde.org) know that too!
