Hi Paul, 

I use a QWebPluginFactory, and override the create method which just creates
and returns the appropriate widget depending on the parameters. 

It works well in 4.5.  In 4.4, there were repaint issues when scrolling in
the web view. 

My only problem now is how to get the sizeHints from the widget to override
the <object> tag size! 

Hope that helps, 

Tony.
