Do you have any other browser lying around?  Try starting qmtest like
this:

        qmtest gui --no-browser

It will spit out a URL to point your (other) favorite browser at.  For
example, the text mode browser "links" seems to do ok with the
javascript.  KDE and GNOME also have their own browsers which are
worth a shot.
