Review request for KOffice.


Description
-------

The TestPACopyPastePage unit test was failing with a segmentation fault (si=
gnal 11).  Debugging it in gdb showed that the cause was a null pointer for=
 the "page" variable in a loop through the master pages.  Tracing this back=
, I discovered some odd code that seemed to be dynamic_casting a Page* to a=
 Page*.  I'm not sure that behaviour is even defined in the C++ standard, b=
ut I'm pretty sure what we really want to do is cast to a MasterPage instea=
d (and reverse the logic of the if statement).  So that's what this patch d=
oes.  =

Testing
-------

Code still compiles and runs and master pages work.  The TestPACopyPastePag=
e unit test now passes instead of failing and all other unit tests still pa=
ss (except the two that were failing already -- both related to layout prob=
lems).


Thanks,
