Hmm, we could add cachecontrol modes for this, i mean we could add something 
like "tryVerify" or "VerifyIfConnected" (to host/internet)
just an idea...

Well, it's made configurable via $EDITOR $HOME/share/config/kioslaverc, but 
the KControl module is missing. I don't see what needs to be done inside 
Konqueror, though.
