 You missed one case which showed only with preloading, but that should be ok 
now too. I don't see any other problems with preloading now.

 Well, except for one thing. I'm still not sure what to do with memory leaks. 
Given that Konqy can dlopen about half of the stuff under $KDEDIR/lib, I'm 
afraid that will be needed :(. Any ideas how to reliably and portably detect 
Konqy is using way too much memory when considering whether to save the 
process for later?

 Doesn't clicking 'disable this overview' in 'about:konqueror' do exactly 
that?
