You misunderstood. The main problem is that konqueror does not support "3rd
party CA-certs" without jumping though a *lot* of hoops. This is on the
konqueror security guy's todo list, but afaik, has not been addressed yet.
Maybe somebody running beta2 can inform us differently. *Because* it doesn't
permenetly accept the certificates, each time you hit the website (or mail
server for pops), it asks *again* if you want to accept it, even if you
select "Forever". This is a known bug, and unfortunetly not one with a good
work around.
