Here is a simple procedure you can follow to make kwebkitpart the default 
rendering engine globally in KDE:

#1.) ALT+F2 and type 'filetypes' minus the single quotes.

#2.) Change the Embeded part for "html" and "xml" to KWebKitPart.

#3) Copy the file generated by the "File Associations" dialog above, 
mimetypes.list, from your personal "xdgdata-apps" folder to the global one. 
You can find the local and global "xdgdata-apps" folders by issuing the 
following command:

kde4-config --path xdgdata-apps

At any rate, this issue is not a kwebkitpart bug at all. The fact that a 
System Settings or a Konqueror specific option for selecting the default 
rendering engine is missing is not a kwebkitpart fault.

Dawit A.
