Re: webkit in konqueror?

KHTML is already very stable now and some developers are working in KHTML to add more features and squash bugs. Plus the addition that javascript bytecode interpreter for KJS is work in progress, I think Konqueror + KHTML will rock in KDE 4.1.

About webkit in KDE, I think it is still work in progress to create Webkit KPart for Konqueror, so it might be possible that someday we can change the rendering engine on-the-fly. (Although I still prefer a separate Webkit dedicated browser is created from scratch in Qt/KDE)

Merging those changes from Webkit to KHTML is always done by the developers, but merging two branches that already diverged for years is not that easy :)

Why would you want a seperate browser? Konqueror is the best browser in the world no matter rendering engine it uses; theres no need to recreate such a great product just because its backend has changed, especially since konqueror is *designed* to swap out backends.
