You're right: Webkit is a _fork_ of Konqueror's engine. I had read
news a while back that Konqueror was on the verge of abandoning its
unforked engine in favor of Webkit, but I guess that valuable move was
lost. Not too surprising to me, Konqueror (like Opera) has always
seemed to me to be "on the verge" of being a reliable general-purpose
web browser :-(
