Hi, I am currently using QWebkit that comes with Qt 4.3.6

For the class QWebPage, the documentation specifically writes that "This class can be used, together with QWebFrame, to provide functionality like QWebView in a widget-less environment." However, when actually doing so, the program complains "QWidget: Cannot create a QWidget when no GUI is being used."

Please let me know if it is the incorrect documentation and I can't use QWebPage in a widget-less environment or there is a bug in the QWebPage? 

Also, for finding version of the Webkit, /src/3rdparty/webkit/VERSION is useless as it simply states it is a snapshot of the git repository with a sha1 sum of b9dcd9c168d9b25deb020837a67f30c2d72c9afb

so I don't know which version to select for in the form above.

Widgetless does not mean no Qt GUI. You still need the Gui for to get the fonts for example.
