Thanks Tony. Actually the other method DOES appear to work. But there 
are two problems:

1. Any HTML *after* my object element doesn't appear. For example, with 
this HTML:

<H1>test</H1>
<object type='application/x-qt-plugin' classid='test' width='100' 
height='30'/>
</h2>test2</h2>

I see "test" and the custom widget, but not "test2".


2. When sent to a PrintPreviewDialog, the custom widget is not displayed 
in the preview, nor is it actually printed.

I'm wondering if I need to do something special to the custom widgets to 
get them to print.

Any ideas?
