Review request for kdelibs.


Summary
-------

This request is created because no one from the KHTML developerment team 
responded to my post in kfm-devel. Basically this patch prevents the 
FilterSet::addFilter function in khtml_filter.cpp from incorrectly interpreting 
a rule with options such as *$image,~image,donottrack as the wildcard matching 
"*". Obviously doing that causes every request processed to be matched and 
hence blocked. The above rule was extracted from a recent version of Easy 
Privacy + EasyList filter. Here the relevant snippet:

If you do not have this patch and you activate adblocking with the EasyPrivacy 
+ Easy List filter selected, then the images will be missing when Konqueror's 
default page (about:konqueror) is shown.
