I get a failure here too with KDE 3.5.2, but not with 3.4.2.

The backtrace indicates the crash is occurring pretty deep within the C++ 
code, so if it's a PyKDE problem it's going to be difficult to find. It's 
hard to see how it could be a PyKDE problem though - the URL appears to be 
fetched and the 404 page rendered in the instant before the crash, and 
everything is happening in the C++ world at that point.

I'd try a C++ version and see if that works.

As far as the code, the only problem I could see is that your main window 
should inherit from KParts.MainWindow, not KMainWindow, but that makes no 
difference in the result. Calling openURL after the event loop is running 
(via a push button) also doesn't make any difference. Neither did changing 
the set* arguments to bool or varying their values.

I didn't try a different URL to see if that produced anything different.

Sorry.
