loadFinished means that all static resources have been fetched from the network and doesn't directly wait for script execution.
Also for more complex pages like gmail, there is no easy way AFAIK to guess from the outside when the page passed from an "initializing" state to a "displaying contents and processing user input" state.

I would suggest you to try using QWebFrame::initialLayoutCompleted (which should only be emitted after the body's onload event), or to start an additional timer following it if that still doesn't work.
