Failure test cases camparison between QtTestBrowser and Chrome

Actually, we just have one issue: Looks like currently QtTestBrowser doesn't support "blur" in shadow.

"[Blur-radius]: A length value indicating the boundary of the blurring for the current text-shadow effect."

Need to investigate why?

Those test cases works fine on qt4.7+webkit trunk(linux). I investigated and found qtwebkit missed some patch like r65876 which for text blur, I know we have some patchs about shadow, r65876 is one of them.

Fix required for Qtwebkit 2.1/2.2

Everything works well with trunk. See the master bug https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34479 for all the shadow handling in Qt.

This bug is blocking the 2.2 release but is marked as closed/duplicate of bug 34479.

Bug 34479 on the other hand depends on 20 other smaller bugs.

I'm removing the dependency, as it should be added on bug 34479 or to a small set of patches if we really decide to cherry-pick/backport this feature (or part of it).

It seems really hard to cherry-pick the patch of bug 34479 as it's dependent on too many other patches. Is it possible we add this feature to a later release that's off the trunk?
