It's getting stranger and stranger:

the crash happens in an interactive python session only. If saved to a 
file, it's running fine (apart from webkits facebook dysfunction, which 
prevents a successful login (for me at least with:
Qt version: 4.7.1
sip version: 4.12.2-snapshot-ec9807971e08
PyQt version: snapshot-4.8.4-8641ecc135b3
Webkit version: 533.3
Python: 2.6 (linux2, 2.6.31.14-6-desktop)
)).

Even more streamlined version:

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWebKit

urlstr = "http://facebook.com"

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
webview = QtWebKit.QWebView()
webview.setUrl(QtCore.QUrl(urlstr))
webview.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())


Attached is a slightly improved variant in python and C++, that would be 
interesting to get output and feedback on various platforms and 
versions for (preferably of those, that own a valid facebook 
account..). 

Login successful?
Crash after click on homepage link?
