This bug report originated from Nokia internal issue QT-1254

--- Description ---

The Acrobat PDF plugin does not work under Linux, as it uses the Xt toolkit and
expects
that the Xt environment is correctly initialized before it is loaded.
Firefox for example calls gtk_xtbin_init, which initializes the Xt toolkit and
integrates the Xt
event loop into the glib event loop. Something similar must be done in Qt as
well.
Alternative would be to use a separated process that initializes the Xt
environment and loads
the plugin and just xembed the window of that process into webkit (like done in
KDE with nspluginviewer).
