Will try, although browserextension.h explains most of this already :)

Nothing to do here :)

To make printing work, you need to add a slot named print() to your browser-extension-inherited
class, so that Konqueror knows that the component supports this action.

(yes, people are ecstatic about "querying an object's interface" in COM etc., but
we can do that with Qt ;-)

Then you need to enable printing - in your case, probably always enabled, so
simply enableAction( "print", true ) in the constructor 

[in general emitting signals from a constructor doesn't work because the connect
isn't done yet, but to solve that in BE we connect to a slot in BE's constructor,
which happens before, so everything's fine].

And then of course you need to implement the print() slot.

That's different, it's not a "standard action" provided by konqueror.
So it's simply up to kate's part to provide this action, the usual way,
with an entry in the part's XML rc file.
In doubt check out khtml :)

Hope this helps.
