------- Additional Comments from David Leong <david.leong at nokia.com>
Qt-Symbian applications which use Qtwebkit and load Netscape plugins currently
crashes on exit.

The crash has been narrowed down to:

void PluginView::platformDestroy()
{
    QWebPageClient* client =
m_parentFrame->view()->hostWindow()->platformPageClient();
    if (qobject_cast<QGraphicsWebView*>(client->pluginParent()))   // Crashes
here
	delete
static_cast<PluginContainerSymbian*>(platformPluginWidget())->proxy();
    else
	delete platformPluginWidget();
}

The crash is caused by a NULL client*. qobject_cast causes an exception as it
requires a valid QObject pointer to access underlying Qtmetadata.
