Moreover, it is a well known fact that you cannot post a patch for different components in reviewboard. Anyhow, the option will most definitely be used by kwebkitpart. Whether or not some body implements support for it in khtml is a question I cannot answer. That is what I meant.

That does not seem to be the case in khtml. It is a little bit more invovled.

Why would a developer working on a separate browsing engine be forced to implement any functionality into khtml ? Would that requirement apply the other way around ? The last I checked, this is a konqueror setting. Whether a specific browser engine supports it or not is up to that browser engine.Just for the record I almost always go out of my way to implement things in khtml ; especially when I factor out features that are common to both engines. In this case, I neither have the time nor a complete grasp of how the KWallet integration works in khtml. As I stated above the change is not in a single isolated location like it is in kwebkitpart. Feel free to do a grep in khtml and see for yourself. I can always add the set/get functions to access the option in KHTMLSettings, but what use would that be if it is not implemented.

"So how exactly is another browser engine supposed to provide configuration option to the user if it is supposed to be embedded into Konqueror ?"
Having it's own engine-only kcm for it's engine-specific options?

"Why would a developer working on a separate browsing engine be forced to implement any functionality into khtml ?"
When did i say that?

"Would that requirement apply the other way around ?"
If you want to use the "general" apply to all engines options page, of course.

You probably don't have any bit of user mentallity left in your head, because it's pretty obvious that adding a configuration option to "web rendering configuration" that won't work with our default rendering engine it's bad usability.

But hey, since David promised to implement this for khtml, go ahead, don't let me block progress.
