Heya,
I've just applied some fixes to the qtwebengine recipe which move some files
to the "correct" location after qtwebengine has been installed. It looks like
this worked fine without my patch when you ran the executable on the same
machine (I assume some hardcoded paths internally in QtWE), but it does *not*
when you run the executable on a different machine.
If the files are not in their resp. location, anything using QtWebEngine to
show a page will just crash (somewhere in WebEngineContext::current() in
Qt5WebEngineCore).

qtwebengine: Work-around packaging bug
Some important files for QtWE need to reside in the bin\ folder.
See the following "bug report" on StackOverflow (with solution):
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35354581/qwebengineview-crashes-on-load-or-page-method
Crash exhibited in KDevelop's documentation tool view. But now gone.
Enjoy,
Kevin
