khtml and plasma

[Aaron J. Seigo]

hi all ...

i just noticed that Remember The Milk uses khtml internally. this is .. 
unfortunate. for a few reasons. the biggest being that it asserts on exit and 
kill plasma when authentication is done during the session. uh-oh.

second is that we already use QtWebKit and i really don't want to see multiple 
web stacks loaded into plasma if at _all_ possible.

now, i do see that RTM is using the Dom API in KHTML. there's a DOM access API 
in Qt 4.6 (already in git iirc) for QtWebKit. so it should be swapped out at 
that point. 

i also wonder if there isn't a way to do the auth w/out loading the actual 
webpage ...  seems a bit odd :) 

but, yes .. please, as a general rule, don't use khtml in plasma. (i don't 
have anything against khtml itself, it has it's uses, just not here)
