Hello, Everyone :)
I have reason to suspect that the above described issue is a KDE issue,
and not a Bibletime one.  I am running KDE from CVS HEAD right now (it's
working excellently :)), and I just noticed that the Konqueror web
browser does EXACTLY the same thing.  Other, non-KDE browsers, work just
fine.  Unless you find something out first, I'll let you know what I
come up with :)
