ingraphicsview

Hi folks,

Firstly a shout out to the great work of QT developers - thanks for  
the good stuff.

Flash video does not work when webkit is displayed using  
graphicsview.  The audio plays but the video is not shown. It's a real  
problem and it means we can't use graphicsview for our application and  
therefore can't use anything that depends on graphicsview like  
declarative UI.

It's not practical for us to ship an application if Flash video does  
not play - we would have to say to our users: "Here's our app -  
everything works except youtube and all other web video."

We've tried it using 4.6 snapshot as well and the problem remains.

It's a real pity not be able to use graphicsview because of this one  
single showstopper issue.

This has been discussed on this list before but nothing seems to have  
come of it:

I'm looking for anything that might suggest that QT is aware of and  
planning to fix it.  If we know that it will be fixed then perhaps we  
can live with it.  If we know that QT does not intend to fix it then  
we'll make an architectural decision not to use graphicsview (which  
unfortunately takes away many juicy bits of QT that we wanted to use).

Thanks again for the great work.
