I'm not sure how to fix this, but I'd try playing around with 
KHTMLPart.view(), which returns a KHTMLView. That's a subclass of 
QScrollView, which is in turn a subclass of QFrame, which has methods for 
styling the widget's frame.

So for example, you should be able (if p is a KHTMLPart) to use:

    p.view().setFrameStyle (QFrame.NoFrame)

Not sure if that's where it's controlled, but it's where I'd start looking.

KHTMLPart or KHMTLView might also reset the frame style in various places, 
although I'd hope not (you'd have to check the C++ code for that). In that 
case you might have to turn off the frame every time you render or something 
like that.
