Please read the bug! 

It is about much more than icons for bookmarks. 
It is about icons that are connected to the page immediately at load
time and that are displayed without extra user action (bookmarking).

This was a much more interesting feature for web authors than the
unreliable bookmark-icon thing (I think about using this for chapter
numbers or minimal cartoons :-)

... in a way that floods lots webservers with requests about a file that
has never been wanted or referenced by the webmasters.

If there is no uproar about this impolitenes of Konqueror it may be
caused by the rareness our sites are visited by Konqueror users.

<http://www.favicon.com> gives the advice to webmasters who feel
disturbed to redirect all those unwellcome requests:

RedirectMatch permanent .*/favicon\.ico$  
 http://www.microsoft.com/favicon.ico/requests/are/flooding/my/error/log

Do you know how many hits this site gets per day? Do we need browser
detection in the future to redirect the spamming requests to th right
evil-doer?
