Arora (again)

Hello,

I was late to the "Thoughts on Arora" thread
(https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2009-July/003026.html
) but here is another con: it does not support embedded files (PDF,
RTF, etc).  It won't even complain about it: it will just display a
blank, empty window. This is due to a bug/limitation in WebKit,
inherited by QtWebKit and it's not likely to be fixed any time soon,
see http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=entry&id=242536

(tested with arora from git and WebKit trunk)

One more reason why Arora is not ready for mainstream use.
