Krumbled konqueror kookies (new Sid version ignores cookies!)

[Steve Cooper <stevencooper@isomedia.com>]

I seem to have done one Sid install too many.

When I let dselect upgrade my kde packages on Jan. 18th Konqueror stopped 
handling cookies.  It is set to prompt for each requested cookie, but no 
longer asks me to accept or reject.  Sites where a login used to be remember, 
such as Excite and Yahoo, no longer remember me.  When I try to sign in they 
complain that my browser must have cookies enabled.  Mozilla and Netscape 
have no similar problem.

I have tried wiping the .kde directory to force a fresh configuration.  It 
didn't help.  I do have a recent backup, but would like to first try to fix 
it.

I captured the output generated by Konqueror when run from the command line.  
I didn't attach here due to its 30K size.  If useful I can attach to a 
follow-up.  There weren't any obvious errors in the text I saw.

TIA - any attempts to help will be most appreciated.
