I suggest to subscribe to kfm-devel at kde.org. Stephan Kulow and others have 
been developing a tool to test regressions in khtml. This tool can also make 
screenshots of rendered websites, I believe. I'm pretty optimistic that this 
tool can easily be modified to do exactly what you're looking for and the 
people on kfm-devel might give hints.
