--- Comment #2 from Eike Hein <hein kde org>  2010-12-16 14:36:35 ---
This is currently intentional as a workaround around a fatal bug in QString
that afflicted Qt 4.0-4.7.0 and together with a particular behavior in another
component of the Linux desktop stack could be used for a trivially accomplished
denial of service attack (crashing the app). Due to various details ultimately
only a very heavy-handed filter on all ways for data into and out of the app
was a viable protective measure for our users.

Now that the Qt bug is fixed we may drop that measure for the next release in
the case that Konversation is built against a sufficiently new version of Qt.
