unless you set QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1 before running the executable
that uses it. It may be worth a comment, or something as binaries that used
to run as root
will not any more without this environment variable set. it effects
musescore 3.4.2, and possibly
gambas and others that use it (approx 23 packages).

I'll make a note of it in README, but it's not a good idea to run GUI
applications as root, especially anything web-browserish, and most
people would have no need. Sandboxing it is for safety.

thanks. <br>
yes I'm aware of the risks of running browsers as root, the
"software police" doesn't like anyone running as root. but for
package builders you often should be building packages as root, with
full root path env ie. su - (at least a number of packages will fail
otherwise)<br>
and a quick test (while still as root) that the package built and
runs ok would fail in those cases. This is how I spotted the problem
anyway. :-)<br>
musescore just crashes (fails to come up) unless you call it with
-w to disable the web related component, or set that environment
variable I mentioned.<br>
talking of which, incase klaatu is checking this mail group, if he
is interested, musescore 3.4.2 has been out for a few months now,
and just requires the usual version bump and updated download links
and md5 sums in the slackbuild to get it to work.<br>

is anyone interested in a dwz as a package?. I did create one to see if it
made much difference
to the qt5-webkit package, and though the size was within 9bytes!, it did
appear to create the package
a bit quicker, so may be worth using.
comments?

If you want to submit it, I'll add it to the readme as optional.
