You can try this with slashdot.org. Whatever you enter into the site-specific 
policy dialog (slashdot.org or .slashdot.org), kcookiejarrc always stores the 
domain without the leading dot.

Because the actual domain in the cookie is stored as ".slashdot.org", but 
kcookiejarrc contains "slashdot.org". I added some debug output and saw that 
the ".slashdot.org" entry is set to 0 (KCookieDunno) and the "slashdot.org" 
entry 
to (1) KCookieAccept. But line 348 only sets the site policy, if it is 
something other 
than KCookieDunno. The next if statement then rejects the cookie for 
".slashdot.org"
, because the global policy is set to Reject (line 354).

My kcookiejarrc is attached. It doesn't matter which URL, but you can easily 
try it 
on slashdot.org. I have the global policy set to reject. Then I add a 
site-specific 
policy for "slashdot.org" and set it to Accept. The cookie never gets stored 
this way. 
So I switched the global policy to "Ask" in order to store the cookie. Once 
the cookie 
is stored, I switch back to "Reject".

The section that ends up in the cookies file contains the ".slashdot.org" 
domain:

[.slashdot.org]
slashdot.org         ".slashdot.org"      "/"          1116618385    0 user

slashdot.org         ""                   "/"          1116618385    0 user                 
4    deleted
