[Short Backgroung]

After the introduction of the "Graphics View" framework to Qt (since version
4.2), managing and interacting with a large number of custom 2D based graphical
items is simple and fast in Qt. As a summary, there are three major entities
involved:
   - QGraphicsScene is a container for QGraphicsItem objects (widgets).
   - QGraphicsView provides the view widget, which visualizes the content of a
scene.
   - QGraphicsItem is the base class for graphical items in a scene.

In order to embed non-QGraphicsItem based objects ( e.g. most of QWidget
subclasses ) into a scene, a "proxy" widget (QGraphicsProxyWidget) is
necessary, which can represent a pontential performance bottle-neck to
applications, specially on mobile devices.

[Bug report]

This bug is about providing a QGraphicsItem version of the "QWebView" widget,
making it to be a straightforward embeddable widget into Graphics View based
applications.
