Re: webkit in konqueror!

For most classes, BC is trivial, for things like KHTMLPart it's not, but doable. The hard part, and the incredible tricky kind of work, is making it integrate properly. That means, for example, that a web page should still be able to embed, and script KMPlayer, that all the settings are followed, etc, that the KIO and KParts hooks are still in there, etc.

Perhaps it is even an advantage of WebKitQt that it does not use KIO with its excessive reliance on DBus-based IPC. I've got a notion that Konqueror feels exspecially sluggish (in comparison to other browsers) when it has initiated a lot of KIO Slaves.

KIO doesn't use DBus for communications with an I/O slave.

Yes, in this case "socket-based IPC" would be more accurate. Nevertheless, if Konqueror's sluggish behavior on some sites is not caused by the rendering engine but by KIO, the KDE bindings of WebKit you are proposing (as opposed to pure Qt bindings in QtWebKit) would not be of much help.
