Hm. Maybe if we ask this Question every week an answer will be given in a 
future release of the FAQ? (We could try to «brute force» the answer in this 
way. ;-)

The problem is, that I like the Konqueror; especially the embedded
version because I don't want to use KDE. w3m is able to save files as
well.

I guess the same. But I don't have a plan how to do this -- I looked
at the code, but I don't understand that. They[tm] (re)use KDE code
so it should be possible to use the special KDE functions for
filesaving and -- like your idea -- add a file-save-proto-hook in 
khtmlrc. There already exists a file named ksavefile but it is only 
used for cookies etc. As far as I know.

So it should be possible to do that. The problem is that I don't know
how. Maybe there are special reasons not to do that, I don't know. Does 
anybody know that?

Regards and thanks,
Johannes
