The solution is Qt4's Webkit bindings wrapped into konqueror. I do not
know what effort this would take but it has been discussed at length
before. Probably the best solution. i've written a gtk wrapper for
webkit before and it was not very frustrating, but rather straight
forwards. I image Qt wrapper would be similar. However, I do not know
the state of TQt and Qt4, or much about how Konquerors plugin system
works so... maybe a better question for kb9vqf

Hi,
I recently downloaded and installed TDE on Ubuntu, and so far I'm liking the
environment alot. I like how all the applications are integrated with each
other. However, I am having issues with the Konqueror web browser, where many
websites are not rendering properly. I have looked up the issue and found
that the KHTML engine that is used by Konqueror has not been updated for some
time and is behind the rendering errors. I have installed both Firefox and
Chromium but none of them integrate well as Konqueror does.
On websites that work with Konqueror, I like the fact when I click on a video
link, a picture, a file archive, a sound file, or any other type of file, it
automatically opens up in the corresponding application and the program,
Kaffine for example, starts streaming the video file. I cannot get the same
kind of integration with Firefox or Chromium. I have tried setting the
default RSS subscription program to Akregator, but it doesn't seem to
redirect the request to that program. I have tried having video files open up
in Kaffine, but the browser downloads the whole video first instead of
opening up Kaffine and streaming it. One other minor complaint I have is that
the interfaces don't match well with TDE either, as there doesn't seem to be
a lot of QT based browsers that have up-to-date browser engines.
I was wondering if there are any plans on updating the KTML engine or
Konqueror in general to work with modern websites and to have that great
intergratedness that makes me like Konqueror. I would have been happy to work
on this project myself but as I don't know how to code at all, this isn't a
pheasble route for me.
Thanks for any info you may give,
Paul
