Bug 428784

With alkonlinequotetest/KF5 configured with the use of QWebEngine and without X-display I get at execution:

QWARN  : AlkOnlineQuoteTest::testLaunchWebKit() WebEngine compiled with X11 support, however qpa backend is not xcb. This may fail.
QWARN  : AlkOnlineQuoteTest::testLaunchWebKit() QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::destroyed(QObject*) to QOffscreenSurface::screenDestroyed(QObject*)
KCrash: Application 'alkonlinequotestest' crashing...

One of the reason for this is that the usage of QTEST_MAIN() in the test case source results into generating a gui application depending on a graphical display.

Another issue is that in the native launch mode, kio wants to create a downlod ui dialog
 
QDEBUG : AlkOnlineQuoteTest::testLaunch() alkonlinequotestest(6255)/kio (KIOJob) KIO::SlaveInterface::dispatch: needs a msg box
QFATAL : AlkOnlineQuoteTest::testLaunch() QWidget: Cannot create a QWidget when no GUI is being used

The ALkOnlineQuote class currently uses the KDE framework library KIO to fetch files from remote locations, which requires a GUI. A possible solution would be to use the corresponding classes of the QtNetwork module in the ALkOnlineQuote class, which does not have this dependency.

Unfortunately, this change does not solve the problem yet, because the framework library KNewStuff depends on KIOWidgets and KIOCore library.
