This is probably basically the same problem than we previously had:
KHTMLPart has not been constructed when View is being constructed. I could
solve the problem by commenting out the assertion in khtml_global.cpp:

KHTMLSettings *KHTMLGlobal::defaultHTMLSettings()
{
  //assert( s_self );
  if ( !s_settings )
    s_settings = new KHTMLSettings();

  return s_settings;
}

I must report this to KDE bug database and suggest that they find a
permanent solution which prevents situations like this happening again.
Now we have to wait until the next release, again, if we want testers to
have usable default KDE installation.
