I have no idea what's going on in KHTMLPart that causes the crash - it's not 
an easy object to troubleshoot, and does some peculiar things in my 
experience with it.

However, it looks like what you want to do is press a key and grab a screen 
shot (via some other code, I assume).

The attached should let you do that, and has the added benefit of not 
crashing. It actually catches the event twice - probably once from 
self.htmlpart.view (), which is a KHTMLView and QScrollView subclass. You can 
filter that, or else try attaching an event filter to  KHTMLView, but I think 
this is easier and more likely to work.

self.htmlpart.view () gives you access to the actual view that paints on the 
screen. KParts.BrowserExtension provides other stuff -  cut, paste, and link 
clicking support (self.htmlpart.browserExtension () returns the part's 
extension in the example). It may also be necessary to call 
self.htmlpart.partManager () - it has the side effect of creating a part 
manager if none exists. If you create actions, do it before instantiating 
KHTMLPart (but don't ask me why).

Let me know if this does what you need, or what further problems it causes.
