For browsing? Completely useless. For changing wallpapers? Very useful. That's 
one of the features which is pretty common in browsers, shouldn't be too 
complicated to implement and which increases the integration between Rekonq 
and KDE.

Not a good idea technically speaking? You don't think having both a tight 
Webkit integration and using non-Webkit kparts is a good idea?

The ideas I put forward were not necessarily intended for the next release of 
Rekonq. I assume some of them could be integrated, if they are easy enough to 
implement, but it's more a case of "general things I'd love to see in Rekonq 
at some point in the future".
