Can anyone forward the question to KDE developers ?
It is definitly a bug, and it is easily reprodusable.
Maybe KDE libs (maybe KHTML, as far as the problem arises with konqueror
and kmail - that is, apps that have data represented in KHTML) manually
send duplicate data to QPrinter, before and after calls to
QPrinter::newPage().
