    answering myself: KHTMLPart takes parentWidget and a parent. just
pass a proper parent, like "self".

    answering myself, again: forget about KHTMLView altogether. the
problem was like this:

* QTabWidget.addTab() only accepts QWidgets. KHTMLPart is not.
* QVBoxLayout is not a QWidget, so create one and use it as the layout
  parent.
* QVBoxLayout is not a QWidget, so you cannot use it as a KHTMLPart 
  parentWidget. so, add the KHTMLView.

    all this got fixed using only a splitter. here's the final code:

tab= QSplitter (self.tabMaster)
htmlView= KHTMLPart (tab, None, self)
htmlView.openURL (url)
self.tabMaster.addTab (tab, url.url ())

    simpler, cleaner, makes me happier :)
