The problem is that the "view" object is valid only within the context
of run() method - it gets destroyed automatically when the method is
finished. You can set the "view" object to be an attribute of the
class, i.e. self.view = QWebView(). This will destroy the view when
the plugin instance is deleted. Other possibility is to set parent of
the QWebView instance - the ownership will be transferred to the
parent and it will be deleted when the parent is deleted - see QObject
reference.
