[Qt-interest] How to get Qt 4.5 static WebKit to display graphics?

I'm on Mac OSX with Xcode 3.1.2.

I built Qt 4.5 from source with the -static option. I then built the  
previewer.app that is in installDir/Examples/webkit by running qmake  
(I put installDir/bin at the front of my PATH first), then make.

The app runs, but when I paste in some HTML that should display an  
image, the image is not displayed.

So I built Qt 4.5 from source again without the -static option and  
installed it in a different location. I set installDirDylib/bin at the  
front of my PATH, then built the previewer.app by using qmake, then  
make.

The app runs and when I paste the same HTML I used before, the image  
file is displayed.

I suspect that this is due to the use of plugins to handle the various  
graphic formats, and that the libraries are not getting linked in the  
first case.

How do I get the graphics to be displayed when I use static libraries?

Thanks,
Rush
