If the target is getting MythBrowser up and running again, then I think we 
already have the answer, go with the first option and use QWebView for now. 
The MythUIType idea can always be implemented later once we've decided to 
switch to QT 4.4.

I don't even think there are QT 4.4. packages in the unstable repos for some 
distros yet, Mandriva included and I don't fancy building it from source.
