Too bad...

I still have to add the changes to KDE2PORTING. 

What happened is the following. The old khtml lib still did the
scrollbar/scrolling management by itself (and unfortunately not very
good). Because of that, we had in the end 3 API classes to the html
library. KHTMLWidget (was a simple widget for displaying khtml, without
frames or scrolling support), KHTMLView, which managed scrolling, frames
for the khtmlwidget, and kbrowser porviding an easy to use interface.

I switched to use QScrollview for the khtml library. This gives us much
better scrolling support, and, as a side effect, we don't need all these
different API classes anymore. I merged them all into KHTMLWidget, which
does now provide the API to the khtml library. But, because of the
merging (and a lot of cleanup I did), many things changed there.

Anyway, I can port khelpcenter to the new khtml lib. It's the last app
which has to be ported (I did so already for kmail, kdewizard and
canossa/konqueror). I don't know if I'll find the time this evening, but
if not, I'll do it tomorrow.

Cheers,
Lars
