That's why I posted the initial post here. Gambas has Webkit control, and
creates perfect Qt3 applications. A simple working browser already provided 
with Gambas as an example. It can open any page and print it. Both Java and 
Javascript works well and it uses KWallet from KDE3 to store passwords so I 
could login OpenSUSE build service with it (unlike Konqueror). What one needs
is just add some navigation buttons, history log, saving files (and opening 
them in external applications), some other settings such as choosing font 
size.
