[webkit-qt] QtWebKit2 and QML Items expected behavior - "There and back again"

[Jesus Sanchez-Palencia]

Hi folks,

As we all know, the only public piece of the brand new QtWebKit2 (Qt5
+ QtQuick 2 + WebKit2) API is our WebView.
This WebView is a QQuickItem, pretty much like everything else in QML 2.

Therefore I would like to ask what would you guys expect from the
following cases:

1- A WebView that has a child Rect.
Example: https://gist.github.com/2127190

2- A WebView having a shader applied to it.
Example: https://gist.github.com/2051871


I'm not talking about performance issues here and the matter is way
simpler than even discussing if we should support this use-cases or
not (or even why supporting them, let's say). When I first thought
about these 2 examples with Lauro, we were trying something that is
the very inner base of QML (case 1) and one of the biggest features of
QML 2 (case 2).

If we are NOT going to support this, then someone needs to document it
when time comes (Qt5 beta?).
If we are suppose to support this and these are critical bugs, then I
can open them and block some sort of meta-bug of the Qt5 release, but
I'm afraid there is nothing more I can do about it as it (qml
rendering, webkit rendering, scenegraph, and the junction of all the
aforementioned) is beyond my field of knowledge.


Cheers! <3
