Is it possible to force Konq to show a broken image icon when an <img
src=" can't be loaded in a web page? I'm trying to follow this
hopelessly out of date Blender tutorial:

http://www.blender3d.org/_media/education/quickstart/Building_Castle.html

and because a couple of image files appear to be missing on the server,
some sections of the tutorial subtly make no sense, for an example,
search the page for "press to bring up the Move Layer requester". Now
if I open that page in Firefox, it displays a broken image icon where
an image is missing. I can't find an option in Konq's preferences to
enable this. Anyone know where it is?

If loading fails, Konqeror (really KHTML) will render the alt= attribute,
followed by a per-class alternative representation, followed by an old
(previously-cached) image. As far as I can tell there is no alternative
representation for KHTMLImageElementImpl objects.

Definitely a useful feature, but one of the few that is as far as I can
tell not there :(
