[webkit-qt] on QQWVP::initializeDesktop and ::initializeTouch and d->useTraditionalDesktopBehaviour

[Kenneth Rohde Christiansen]

Hi there,

I cannot agree more. Currently we are also seeing a convergence of
mobile/desktop. Safari was one of the first; there seems to be work
going on in Chromium adding touch interaction, and Windows 8
definitely will support more mobile behavior.

We shouldn't really be a follower but a leader here and we can be so.

I also think that we should be able to use the tiling code always. It
is performing extremely well on my laptop, and I only "see tiles"
while scrolling in the situations there a normal browser would stall.

The viewport meta handling can easily be fixed (I did the first patch
already) by not layout out non-viewport-meta enabled page by 980, but
by the maximum of the actual viewport and the 980. Then the 980 could
be configurable and easily set to 0 in QML, enabling normal desktop
behavior for such pages.

Cheers,
Kenneth
