I run kdesvn in Gentoo, and installed Rekonq-9999 from the kde-testing (svn) repo, and was amazed! Rekonq is really going somewhere fast- I love it. This is definitely a great qt/webkit konqueror replacement, even now. There is a new update version 0.2.0, see: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.ph … tent=94258
Rekonq home page: http://rekonq.sourceforge.net/news.html
However, the svn/git 9999 version from today looks even better. Very fast, and very functional, though of course all the fancy things aren't yet implemented, but as is it is very nice. IMO currently better than Arora or google Chrome.
I wanted to try it on Arch, but it's not in testing or any other repo, so after my normal pacman -Syu and getting updated to kde-4.3.1, I set up ABS on my Arch system, and grabbed this "git" PKGBUILD I found at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22846 (Thanks much, maintainer epsilom!).
I had never done ABS before, but this worked like a charm after I edited the /etc/sudoers file correctly, and created a /home/wrc/abs/rekonq-git directory and put the PKGBUILD file in there. Had to install some missing dependencies like cmake, git, xmlrpc-c, etc., but then a quick makepkg -s created a rekonq-git-20090902-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz package. pacman -U rekonq-git-20090902-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz installed it, and it works great!
If anyone was wanting to try Rekonq, I can report the git version is coming along really nice, and the new 0.2.0 release is probably pretty decent, too. I read on one Linux forum one kde4 user had decided to replace konqueror- qt/webkit was getting too good.

Ok, who's paying you?
Actually I just tried it too not too long ago and they have come quite a bit since 0.1. KDE if probably going to need a more advanced html engine than khtml currently provides. Not sure if that is going to be khtml or if webkit might eventually be adopted.

also is possible to use webkit with konqueror, installing webkit-kpart.
works perfect, except in webs with intensive flash usare (but with youtube works fine) where flashplugin crashes.
