Well, this is no problem with David's proposal number one and my IDL draft:
The view will always (no matter what proposal) have an open interface you can
access to control the view.
Then you've got two choices:
(1) You can either create an implementation of the Konqueror GUI interface
(beside Konqueror's own implementation) and use this one as GUI interface for
the view. (but I don't think that there will be any application doing this
although it's technically possible :-)

(2) Or you can re-parent the view and make it a part-child of your part. Then
the parent part's GUI will stay visible/active if the parent-part is active and
you'll simply get notified if the child-part gets the focus.
(and you can still control the view via it's interface)

Does this fulfill your "request" ? :-)
