I have posted a short bulletin about this on 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337742#c54

I will polish up your fix and commit a patch to KDE 4 kde-runtime master.

Do I need to do a reviewboard on that?  I hope not… :-(

I will also pass on the good word to Hrvoje, to amend his KF5 patch.

Albert?

You are supposed to use bugstest.kde.org, by changing 2 lines in
drkonqi/drkonqi_globals.h…
