Ahhh... I now see the problem. It only occurs when you change the
rendering engine using View->Mode->WebKit! Because we do not handle
the case where the newly created part is not a KWebKitPart!

This is simply the same problem and it is a usage issue. I never use
both rendering engines at the same time ; so I do not know how
switching engines using View->Mode behaves. Anyhow, the issue is
simple enough to address ; so it should be fixed shortly....
