Well, I dug for several hours a while in the PyQT code before posting to the list, but wasn't able to find the magic key.  I will keep trying.

If I can get this working, I'd be happy to submit an updated tutorial with
 whatever information I gather.

Yes, building webkit builds a program called QtLauncher that lets you test
and make sure everything is working, and I have verified that it was functional
before posting.

The code was attached to my original posting, a breach of netiquette, I know.
However, I figured since the tarball was smaller than some posts (1.8K) to the
list, it wouldn't raise too many hackles.

Of course, if people would rather download it from a website, I can easily
post it somewhere as well.
