Could you quickly confirm that your application actually uses (and hence links) against QtWebKit?

So the conclusion so far would be:

* Qt app + QtWebKit: absolute no-go for Apple App Store

* Qt App without QtWebKit: good to go (provided all the Qt "App Store" patches are applied)

Talking of which: does the recently released Qt 4.8 include the patch which lets the application control where to store the "Qt settings"? What about the "sandbox Qt filedialog" issue? Did that patch make it into the 4.8? The changelog I found on Git (!?) did not reveal anything...

Will try out myself anyway, but I'm eager to know ;)
