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.
Cheers,
---AK

The best candidate for something obvious you overlooked is the
"Getting Involved" heading on the webkit.org site! :)
>From your diagnosis it sounds like perhaps either WebKitQt is lacking
support for these plugins (or possibly there's a misconfiguration or
something). Rather than the "royal pain" of working around it, why
not fix WebKitQt? From a grep in the WebKitQt plugin code it does
look like it has some preliminary bit of Gtk support.
