[Bug 369629] [NEW] favicons not working in konqueror

[Shaun Dennie]

Public bug reported:

Using Kubuntu 9.04, many websites do not display favicons in konqueror.
The problem appears to be related to konqueror improperly using
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/faviconrc.  The favicons are being properly
written in ~/.kde/cache-$HOST but, if they get written into the
faviconrc text file under the konqueror directory, it obscures them.

I have verified this (and a temporary workaround) with another Kubuntu
9.04 user:

In Konqueror, go to slashdot.org.  You will not see a favicon.  Close
konqueror (maybe not needed) and then do a:

chmod -r ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/faviconrc

Restart konqueror and again go to slashdot.org.  You should now see a
favicon.
