I cannot comment on the correctness of the patch, however where you are 
attempting to fix this is incorrect IMHO. This issue does not only affect 
khtml, but any other dialog/widget that uses a text edit. IMHO, such a fix 
belongs in [Q/K]TextEdit so that it can be used everywhere consistently. What 
the patch does makes things only more inconsistent...
