Actually, I'm surprised that that method didn't work. In 99% of the
cases, all you need to do is look for "frame src='whatever.html'" and
just get whatever.html directly. I ran into one case a while back
where I absolutely could not directly access the contents of a frame
no matter what I tried... but that's the extreme rarity.

If all else fails, you could try getting the file directly out of
Konqueror's cache. I don't know if the cache is found in different
places on different systems or not. On my SuSE 9.3 installation, the
cache is in $HOME/.kde/cache-<HOST>/http.
Try something like:
find $HOME/.kde/cache-<HOST>/http -name "*THE_SITE_HOSTNAME*" | xargs
fgrep "SOME TEXT FROM THE FILE"
That should do it.
