I just tried the steps you mentioned for google.it and it works just
fine for me (tested on arm-linux (iPAQ) as well as on x86-linux (in
the virtual framebuffer)) . Do you have the impression that it's a
crash? Can you try making it dump core (set the coredump size to
something reasonable with ulimit in your shell) and analyze it with
gdb?

I'm afraid I don't have the time currently :-(

It's up again. There used to be trouble with two KDE servers, one of
them being the central mail server. It was down almost a week.

I probably missed them :-( University just keeps me more busy than
I'd like :-(

Yes, that bug I can reproduce. I remember that Dirk fixed it once
but I can't remember what the exact fix was. I'll talk to him (as
soon as he's back) . This is indeed a quite annoying bug.
