KDE 2.2.2 from last freebsd.kde.org pre-commit build.

>Description:

Konq seems to know certain things are links. They look perfectly normal in
the HTML, it shows the link target on the status line on mouse-over, the
cursor changes appropriately on mouse-over, yet clicking on the link will
get you nothing but a blink of the "Copies selected item to the clipboard"
icon on the toolbar. (This has GOT to be a CLUE.) 

However, hit the right hand button, pick "New Window", and Konq will
dutifully follow the link and open it for you in the new window. So, you do
get to your destination, it's just kind of tiring stopping and changing to a
new car at every intersection. <sigh/>

>How-To-Repeat:

Two examples pages, both BSD related :) that exhibit this problem :( ...

1. http://www.onlamp.com/lpt/a//bsd/2001/11/29/Big_Scary_Daemons.html

Up at the top, there's a picture of the author (!?). Clicking on that should
take you to the TOC page for his columns.

2. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/08/30/Big_Scary_Daemons.html

Near the bottom, on the right, there's a shaded box, with the heading "Also
in Big Scary Daemons:", containing links to 3 other articles. The first one,
to "Cleaning Up Ports", works. The other two, to "Stable SMB" and "The Price
Quote of Freedom", only open with "New Window".

This one is perhaps also clueful: 

<!--  sidebar begins  -->
<table width="170" border="0" cellspacing="8" cellpadding="4" align="right">
<tr><td width="170" valign="top" bgcolor="#efefef">
<p class="headline">Also in Big Scary Daemons:</p>
<p class="smalltext"><a
href="/pub/a/bsd/2001/11/29/Big_Scary_Daemons.html">Cleaning Up
Ports</a></p><p class="smalltext"><a
href="/pub/a/bsd/2001/11/15/Big_Scary_Daemons.html">Stable SMB</a></p><p
class="smalltext"><a href="/pub/a/bsd/2001/11/01/Big_Scary_Daemons.html">The
Price Quote of Freedom</a></p>
</td></tr>
</table>
<!--  sidebar ends  -->


>Fix:

None yet. 

I will update the PR with a smaller, self-contained example if I can create
one. That "sidebar" code above looks promising...
