           Summary: [Qt] QWebPage needs to be able to function in a
                    Widget-less environment, as per documentation.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: WebKit Qt
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: bo0ork at gmail.com


The docs state: 
"This class can be used, together with QWebFrame, to provide functionality like QWebView in a widget-less environment."
This is not true. While measuring items in WebCore::RenderThemeQt() constructor, and other places, QWidgets are being constructed merely to check what fonts they use or what width a certain part of them are.
This is just silly, as it prevents QWebPage for being used in secondary threads and non-GUI applications, for something that could easily be hardcoded for QWebPage (as opposed to QWebView, which should still do these things).
