Rock! Can't wait to get this landed :)

Hmm, should be available from the outside. Try anarki internally.

Cool, but as I said, these didn't work before either, so we can do that sort of
bugfixing as follow-up patches too if they appear to require more than trivial
work.

Hmm, possibly, see Eric's comment about cookies. 

We should probably have a menu in the QtLauncher for changing the user agent
like Safari in dev-mode has, would be useful for testing.

Ah, you can try hacking QtLauncher to disable plugins using QWebSettings while
you investigate (should probably also be an option ;)

Thanks for looking into these issues!
