Tip:
When you have a complex code base, and want to find the code path 
triggered for a certain action, use tools.

First, gdb. In this case, you run Rekonq, then add a breakpoint in the 
constructor of QWebPage. You do the use case: Ctrl+leftclick, gdb will 
break, and you go up in the stack to understand what is going on.


In some cases, you don't even know where to break with gdb. In that 
case, you can use callgrind to help you.
You run rekonq in callgrind with the instrumentation disabled at start. 
Then you use callgrind_control to start the instrumentation, you do the 
click, and you stop the instrumentation. By looking at the call tree in 
KCachegrind, you can generally figure what is going on.

Ask if you need help with those. I am on IRC as well.

cheers,
