ok, thanks.

as a related query, I note that (in Fedora F15 repository) there is both a
webkitgtk and also webkitgtk3

What's the difference ?

I'm just guessing that webkitgtk3 if your application uses gtk3 and webkitgtk
otherwise. I am further guessing/hoping that the webkitgtk/webkitgtk3 api's are
identical, so moving from one to the other is just a matter of changing teh
includes/links.

Can anyone confirm this please?

Thank you, and all the best,
