nope, because we can't use a QWidget at all, too overhead for a thing like 
that

that would be rocking! what we need is in fact a subclass of a QWebPage, at 
the moment we purely use a qwebpage to paint, we will probably switch to 
qgraphicswebview, but i suppose one can just feed a KWebPage to it.
