You can also set the start page in Konqueror to "Show Blank Page" or "Show 
Home Page", in order to switch views on the fly from the view menu. It does not 
work if the start up page is set to "Show Introduction Page" because that is a 
special view. Having said that you should do as David suggested above...

As far as the url being reloaded, both khtml and webkitpart use KIO so they 
share the same cache and hence the page would likely be retreived from there 
instead of being downloaded again. However, changing views (actually parts) is 
essentially no different than starting a new application with a url...

Changing view to webkitpart when viewing blank pages should work correctly in 
more recent versions of the KDE webkit part.
