Yeah, check the bug:84332. We become way too trigger happy on any kind 
of hiding of the iframe and destroy the khtmlview/part on even setting 
the display:none of it.
I'm also not sure what would be the best way to solve it. If KDE 3.3 
would get awfully close we could always just bump the reference count 
of the renderwidget in htmliframeelementimpl so that for as long as an 
element is an iframe we just hide it and never delete the 
khtmlview/khtmlpart combo for it.
Dirk, any ideas?
