Ah, I just answered on kde-devel...

The plugin knows the parent KHTMLPart. So you can simply connect to
its completed(), completed(bool) signals, to be notified when a web page 
was loaded -- you probably want started(...) too. Those signals are
defined in KParts::ReadOnlyPart btw.

Then you can grab the contents of the page (maybe using the DOM tree
is the best way? - see document() in KHTMLPart) and do whatever you want
with it :-)
