From Konqueror's side it has always been possible to embed other render engines because of the KPart concept.

Two KDE developers have been working on a Qt based version of Gecko and I think it somewhat came to a halt when only one of the got permissions to work in Mozilla's source repository and now they are busy with other things.

Personally I see little need for that anyway, besides the technical coolness of course

I use KHTML without any problems day in, day out and if I eventually encounter a site that doesn't work and I really think I want their content, I can always start Firefox for them.

Currently the only site having that privilege is our company's intranet.

A Kpart was started for the Gecko renderer at the 2004 Akademy. (http://dot.kde.org/1094924433/) It was never fully completed, and I don't know what the current status is now. If someone knows jump in here. But I guess the short answer is yes it is possible.

Perhaps you could fill out bug reports for Konqueror when you find that Konqueror is misinterpreting the W3C recommendations. This way you'd be improving a KDE technology.

Cheers.

AFAIK got GMAIL fixed in Konqueror of 3.5

It often helps to check if changing the user agent makes a difference, because sometimes the sites just deliver bad code when they don't know KHTML or mistake it to be Internet Explorer (some website use really silly browser checks)

I understood that the main problem is that the site checked for Safari instead of KHTML, but this might be a problem that already got fixed on Goggle's side.
