It's either a KonqDirPart or a ReadOnlyPart that you should use.
(ReadWritePart are editors).
KonqDirPart is simply a few useful things, for directories, on top of ReadOnlyPart.

There's documentation - kdebase/libkonq/konq_dirpart.h, but no tutorial,
this is quite internal to konqueror views. Looking at the code, you'll see that
it's not very complex.

No.

Hmm, I thought there was always one, nowadays (you're using VERY recent sources, right ?).
Anyway, start Konq from a terminal, and you'll see the error there. I guess you
have an undefined symbol in your lib.

Dunno, ask Trolltech ;)
I'd like this too.

Run kdebugdialog, and start apps from konsole.
