Middle-click, of course. Sorry, I really don't know where the "right" bit 
comes out from, I just mistyped.

I see, this should explain that.

If I am correct, I only had to check the filename, and it says: 
libkwebkit.so.1.0.0.

It's OK, I thought it was a common problem, and I could contribute back to 
Konqueror after using it on a daily basis. Since it's mine alone, I'll switch 
back to KHTML for now, and give Webkit another try when Kubuntu Maverick is 
out. Many thanks for your assistance so far.
