KonqMainWindow::openURL takes care of loading the right part for about:blank.
So I guess this change might break "other web browsers" built around khtml
if they don't implement support for about:blank. Not sure how realistic this is
though, and how much we need to care about that, given that this is a valid bugfix.

For the case of frames, KHTMLPart::processObjectRequest handles about:blank
so no problem there.
