Windowed plugins with QGraphicsView are not explicitly unsupported, 
there is no fallback in the code, we do try to load and play them. 
However, there are some problems with them. You can find more info here: 
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitPlugins.  It's a bit out-of-date but 
for Qt 4 it does describe the current state more or less.
