Hi Martin,

 
>Nevertheless they would still live in the browser.

If I understand well your idea, some tabs of rekonq will have their own entries 
in the task list and some will not.
I propose a better idea:
Create a dedicated version of rekonq for web apps.
This version will:
- show the icon of the website as icon of the window
- remove the name of rekonq in the title of the window (I don't know how but I 
am sure it is possible), only keep the name of the website (eg. Google map).
- clic on a link: if it is a internal link of the website then open it in the 
web app window else open it in the normal rekonq version.
- remove the urlbar
- remove the tool button-menu
- remove new tab button
- hide tab bar by default
- keep previous,next and reload buttons ?
- adapt context menu accordingly

In the normal version of rekonq:
- add actions somewhere in the UI to register a website as a web app.
- clic on a link: if it is a link of registered web app: open it in its 
dedicated window (perhaps in a new tab) and focus this window.

I propose a related idea:
create packages that depends on rekonq for easily install web applications.
these packages will add entries in kickoff.
