I don't know if you are seeing the same issue as I saw, but if you are loading the page 
from the disk, you now need to put the protocol, not only the path.

For instance, this:

    QString path = "<local path to a file>";
    QWebView view;

    view.load(path);              // usage #1
    view.load("file:///" + path); // usage #2

The usage #1 didn't load any external reference. No image.. nothing. By adding the 
protocol in front of the url, it then loaded everything.

Like I said, it might not be the same issue as what you are seeing, but it's something you 
may want to have a look.
