Re: [webkit-dev] QtWebkit vs GtkWebkit
I am involved - as a user of webkit, helping find bugs that others may not have discovered. Unfortunately, I don't know my way around the innards of QtWebkit, so I am posting here in the hope that others who do, may have a solution. Thanks for your comments.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. My probems are all on Ubuntu Linux - both in Jaunty and Lucid - with all QtEbkit-based browsers. what is http://doobie.sf.net;? A QtWebkit-based browser? Is it open-source?
