Search in about:konqueror disrespects "gg blah" instead of "gg:blah"

Bug Description

Yeah, right, Konqueror's web shortcuts settings has an option to switch between colon (which is the default)
and whitespace as the seperator for the shortcuts. I, for example, prefer "gg kubuntu" instead of "gg:kubuntu".

Now Kubuntu has an additional search bar in about:konqueror, which is a cool idea, but unfortunately only
passes "gg:kubuntu" even if I set the seperator to whitespace. That makes this search field a bit pointless,
so it would be extra cool if my settings are respected when generating the search string.

The search bar is for kiolocate and doesn't talk to google or other search shortcuts.

If you change the delimiter from Colon to Space and set (for example) Google as default then is passes "gg:foo" to google instead of just "foo"

So, a more detailed reproduction howto:
- Search something with the default settings in that about:konqueror search line and watch it work
- Enter "Configure Konqueror..." -> Web Shortcuts
  (the search bar is using the default search engine from here)
- Change "Keyword delimiter" from Colon to Space
- Search the same thing and watch it fail, because it still uses the colon. After switching the delimiter, it should pass "locate foo" instead of "locate:foo", or "gg foo" instead of "gg:foo" (depending on the selected default search engine, which is already respected)

Looks like it doesn't respect the delimiter setting at all anymore (Feisty).

Thanks for the update, Milian. I can confirm this is fixed in KDE 4.1 on Intrepid.
