Description:

INTRODUCTION

Miniweb is a Plasma widget that embeds a WebView (a Webkit-based embeded web
browser widget). It aims to display a compact webpage, mostly web-based apps
like micro-blogging, on your desktop.

Because most web apps are too large in size to fit in this tiny window, Miniweb
supports user agent disguise to make the web-sites think you are using a mobile device, so that you get the mobile versions of your favourite sites.

FEATURES

* Cookies saved
* User-agent customization, which helps accessing mobile versions of your favourite sites
* Automatically page refreshing
* An extensible framework that you can write Helpers for specific web sites to do tasks such as URL pre-processing

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

* KDE 4.5 or later
* python-lxml 2.2.7 or later

INSTALL

To install:
[indent]$ plasmapkg -i plasma-miniweb-1.0.1.plasmoid[/indent]

To upgrade an existing installation:
[indent]$ plasmapkg -u plasma-miniweb-1.0.1.plasmoid[/indent]
(You may need to re-login KDE to make effect)

1.0.2
1. fixed the issue that Plasma crashes when removing a Miniweb plasmoid
2. user's customized size are now be saved
3. removed the BusyWidget on the right of the title, and use Applet's built-in busy indicator instead
4. changed the default refresh interval to 5 min

1.0.1
Fixed 2 issues:
1. Quote the encoded URL in the xdg-open's command line, to prevent external link from being truncated
2. Change the default user agent from iPhone4 to Nokia E51, because some feature supported by iPhone4 seem not to be supported by WebView, causing some sites, e.g. news.google.com, to malfunction

yes it's fixed.
I noticed you changed the user agent to symbian.
Can you test the anroid user agent?
It seems to work good for me:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 1.0; appLanguage; dream) AppleWebKit/525.10+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Mobile Safari/523.12.2

Thanks. I tried the Android user agent. I found it had the same problem with the iOS agent I used in the first place, that the links in news.google.com became unclickable.

I think so, but unfortunately I didn't find a way to implement a PopupApplet with python so far. I will do some research, but may not work it out in the short run.

Take a look at the panel version of the Konsole applet, maybe that implementation is helpful: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Konsole+Applet?content=134569
