I think we need to make these KPopup instances, since IIRC thats what is 
needed to give them a title.  Having a title for 'Frame Menu' or  'Text 
Menu' makes sense here IMO.

Quite usefull :)

I think we should make the 'edit text frameset' the default action for 
keyboard navigation.  Pressing enter should therefor do more then 
clicking the node with the mouse; it should additionally start editing.
What do you think?

Well, if you have time...
In KWCanvas::eventFilter() you can catch Key_Enter and 
 if(m_mouseMode != MM_EDIT) you can create a nice m_insRect and then call 
the appropriate mrCreate[Foo] just like in contentsMouseReleaseEvent from 
line 1686 and down.

Cheers!
