I) Using kdebindings you can easily tell konqueror to use gecko instead 
of khtml

II) Banking with khtml is still not that good. Feel free to file a bug 
on kde.org sometimes, a developer might fix it

III) Having said these, I should say that khtml is a fine html rendering 
engine, and in majority of cases is faster that gecko. Remember that 
Apple Chose KHTML instead of Gecko to develop Safari (which in my brief 
encounter with this borwser, it really is the fastest browser on 
earth).
