Maybe a "strip" on the executable will reduce size. This can help significantly with fat C++ stuff.
Actually, the biggest package is probably libqt4-webkit (21 MB). Makes sense too. Gecko and Xulrunner are big as well, as if libwebkit. All the GTK libraries are also already installed...

You could temporarily uninstall one of these rendering engines to make space for libqt4-webkit. Xulrunner is 26 MB, libwebkit is 11 MB. Webkit-eal is 7,8 MB.

This is like saying Mozilla loads less fast than Internet Explorer on Windows 98SE. From a user experience perhaps correct, but technically incorrect given Internet Explorer was already mostly started on the OS.
