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 :-(
