The useragent set looks like that:
Mozilla/5.0 (Konqueror/4.2; Linux) AppleWebKit/527+ (KHTML, like Gecko, 
Safari/419.3)

I think that is okay. You can try Arora (http://code.google.com/p/arora/), 
another QtWebKit based browser. If GMail works with that you should report 
that bug to kdewebkit. If it does not, please report the issue to 
bugs.webkit.org.

Bye
