I don't know that there's one "right" way - Ke has suggested a gtk+ based 
solution, but qt4-embedded should also work in the way you described, in that 
it will provide a webkit-based web browsing widget for your application that 
can be used without X.

In this scenario you would create a recipe for your application that would 
inherit from the qt4e bbclass, and then create a custom image that would 
install your application's package, and shared library dependencies will pull 
in the appropriate Qt4-embedded packages automatically. The finishing touch 
would be an init-script that started your application on boot.

(I guess it would be useful to document some of this Qt4 stuff in a little more 
depth at some point.)

Cheers,
Paul
