Really ? I love the idea of embedding any kind of browser/viewer in
konqueror,
that's what it's for, and help pages are designed to be browsed/viewed.
But kcontrol is nothing like that... It is a *very extended* dialog box, but
still something like a dialog box, with OK, cancel, isModified(), .... 

Wait for the next kparts, it will allow 'read-write' parts whereas konqueror
currently deals with read-only browsers/viewers. Or feel free to contribute
to the kparts hacking itself, of course !
