at least kmail is adjusted to force the xcb platform plugin. All other 
applications which use QWebEngine should do the same:

qputenv("QT_QPA_PLATFORM", "xcb");
QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

It's unfortunate that this happens - the only defense I have for it is that no 
browser currently works on Wayland ootb.

QtWebEngine on Wayland (was: Re: Test your applications on Wayland)

2016-10-12 Thread Kevin Kofler 
Hi,

one major issue is that QtWebEngine does not work on Wayland at this time, 
at least not if it is built with desktop OpenGL. See:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-55384

This affects kdepim applications (at least KMail) and also some Qt 
applications developed outside of KDE infrastructure (QupZilla, the 
Calamares webview module, etc.).

Should happen in the next couple of weeks, now that 5.6.2 is closed.
