You should be able to achieve this by connecting to the repaintRequested signal of the QWebPage that you are rendering (see http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qwebpage.html#repaintRequested).

It's probably better to direct QtWebKit specific questions to the webkit-qt list (webkit-qt at lists.webkit.org) in future, since QtWebKit has been removed from WebKit trunk and the webkit-dev is usually used to discuss core WebKit development issues.
