Comment # 1 on bug 1178041 from Nick Dordea

Hello, 
I looked to rkward's yast latest log as well as the page mentioned by the
failing message  [ provided below ].

1. The config log says .....
a) * Support using QWebEngine instead of QtWebKit (still supported)
b) Build with QtWebEngine (instead of QtWebKit) on architectures
  and distributions where it is available (in a new enough version)

Question :  How to start rkward and use QtWebKit and NOT the QWebEngine that
appears to be a Google/Chromium back door in our machines ?

Note : I do not use Google's Chrome, Chromium because I do not trust them.  If
opensuse is pushing chromium on the users via rkward  I will switch to Rstudio
or Rcmndr  .

2. the url https crbug.com/638180 is clearly discussing a chromium crush !
Note : I want to stay as far as possible from any Google/Facebook/etc products
because I do not trust them.

Thanks,
ND
