Mmh, an alternative to using different parts would be to introduce a
signal widgetCreated(QWidget *w, PositionHint) which the part emits
for each created widget. In that case you couldn't create widgets
in the part constructor because at that time the signal isn't 
connected, but why not? It would also make the use of KParts::Part
a bit questionable, because the method widget() wouldn't be
meaningful.
