That cache object that the network access manager has a pointer to is  
cleared.

The default NetworkCache objects do not know about each other so only  
one cache object is cleared.

QWebSettings is for settings, not to hold cache objects

Using the clear function on the cache is the proper way.  What you are  
probably looking for is to share the same network access manager with  
all your pages.  Then you only have one cache.  For an example of this  
checkout the source code for Arora.
