kdebug tells me that the metaRefresh flag is set, and now I have debug built 
kde libraries I'm also seeing a call to the KHTMLPart::scheduleRedirection 
method. A little later, after the first page load, I see 
KHTMLPart::slotRedirect() and KHTMLPart::urlSelected() debug messages but the 
action stops there. I think urlSelected wants to do something that it can't, 
but can do within konqueror, as the reload works fine inside konqueror.

Screensavers are basically stand alone apps that can output to the root window 
or a specific window id, so debuging is fairly straight forward.

Unfortunately, konqueor's debug output includes a lot of kio noise that the 
screensaver doesn't, even though they're both happily loading the page. 

Unless anyone has any bright ideas, I might just wait until kde 3.3 hits 
debian testing and hope the problem has been fixed. If not, I guess I'll 
start stuffing debug calls all over urlSelected and grab the konqueor source.
