Re: writing to khtmlrc... The fact that the entire browser config dialog is \
tied to khtml is not something to gloss over. That is a big part of the \
browser. Moreover, modifying konq source to use an entirely different \
config dialog if kpart != khtml strikes me as very bad idea. I can only \
imagine the confusion and chaos that would generate.

Besides, if konq can&#39;t even share basic (set homepage, turn off \
javascript, clear cookies, etc.) config options between browser parts then \
what is the point of them sharing a shell?

Regardless, a lot of work is involved going down that path. I guess \
you&#39;d have to start with cataloguing the subset of functionality \
between khtml and webkit to share same config.
