I don't, so it wouldn't be useful unless and until I did.

The Wiki is very unclear about what htmlview does, and I suspect it is
nothing worth bothering with.

I am using KDE 3.5.  Hence, I don't have pywebkit and when I search for
it in YaST2, nothing is found.   I will be moving to KDE 4 soon, but I
don't suppose that will change anything with respect to pywebkit. 
Therefore I am not inclined to bother with it.

The only things that crashed are geoview and htmlview, which are
superfluous and easily disabled.
