[Bug 389441] [NEW] QT Browser Plugins make the browser unresponsive

[David Morris]

Public bug reported:

QT provides a solution for implementing browser plugins for web browsers
which support the Netscape LiveConnect API.  However the simple 'Hello
World' example fails to run on Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 9.04.  It simply
hangs in both Firefox and Epiphany making the browser unresponsive.

Looking at the same code compiled and running on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy),
Fedora 9 and Debian Lenny works.  Therefore I believe it is Ubuntu
specific problem introduced between 8.04 and 8.10.

The QT site on the plugin is http://www.qtsoftware.com/products/appdev
/add-on-products/catalog/4/Utilities/qtbrowserplugin

To test you need to download, build and install the open source version
of the plugin.  The install path for Firefox is
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/

Once installed, visiting the example page
http://doc.trolltech.com/solutions/4/qtbrowserplugin/qtbrowserplugin-
example-trivial.html will show the bug.
