You cannot get a view from the KoDocument anymore, that's the point of it. You only can get a view from the KoPart. Getting the KoPart from the KoDocument is temporarily possible, but that connection  should be removed as soon as possible.

The reason is that we want to be able to use the document without creating a view at all: like right now, in OfficeTools, opening a document always creates a complete KoView instance, QWidgets and all, we just don't show it.
