I'm calling now 
  QApplication::setStyle(new QCleanlooksStyle());
before instantiating QApplication() (still with no GUI),
and although it just postpones the problem on the solaris-x86 platform 
I want this for, I've noticed that it does work now on my linux-x86 
box. 

On solaris, QWebPage's contructor segfaults in XListFonts(), a X11 
function, I guess because of the lack of an X connection. My Qt install 
doesn't use fontconfig due to some linking problem with libiconv at 
configure time, so now I'm on to hack that, reconfigure with 
fontconfig, and see if it can use fonts without an X server after that.

Best regards,
