Yay! The joy of OSS... :) if you're too laz^h^h slow, someone else will 
do it first.

It would be welcome.... have you applied for an svn account.

Yup agree with that. It should be separated out and the necessary hooks 
to enable it to function incorporated into khtml... however the 
easiest/quickest implementation was to simply code it straight into 
khtml, so that's what happened.

If it was all pulled out into addons that clearly would no longer be a 
problem. I guess the alternative would be to just add the new filter 
setting in directly and then call reparseConfiguration, otherwise adding 
add and remove calls to the kpart that call d->m_settings in the same 
fashion as the JS-settings calls (grep for "it sucks") I guess.
