In some ways it's surprising that a KHTML part works but a KPDF part doesn't.
However, I've never managed to successfully use a KGhostViewPart in this way,
so it's not a complete surprise.

Nonetheless, the following code works for me:


import sys
from kdecore import KApplication, KShortcut, KURL
from kdeui import KAction
from kfile import KFileDialog
from kparts import *

def openURL():

    url = KFileDialog.getOpenURL()
    part.openURL(url)

if __name__ == "__main__":

    app = KApplication(sys.argv, "")
    window = KParts.MainWindow()
    part = createReadOnlyPart("libkpdfpart", window, "KPDF",
                              "KParts::ReadOnlyPart")
    window.setCentralWidget(part.widget())
    #window.createGUI(part)
    action = KAction("&Open", KShortcut("Ctrl+O"), openURL,
                     window.actionCollection(), "openURL")
    window.show()
    
    sys.exit(app.exec_loop())


I'm using sip-snapshot-20050917 and PyQt-x11-gpl-snapshot-20050917 with
PyKDE-snapshot20050829, but I expect sip 4.3.1 and PyQt3.15 would work
with the same PyKDE snapshot.
