The docs state: "This class can be used, together with QWebFrame, to provide functionality like QWebView in a widget-less environment." This is not true. While measuring items in WebCore::RenderThemeQt() constructor, and other places, QWidgets are being constructed merely to check what fonts they use or what width a certain part of them are. This is just silly, as it prevents QWebPage for being used in secondary threads and non-GUI applications, for something that could easily be hardcoded for QWebPage (as opposed to QWebView, which should still do these things).
