I think JHbuild has stopped or disabled building WebkitGTK and now only 
includes Webkit2GTK, which is problematic since Geary still relies on 
the former. See Bug 741866 for and a patch that you might be able use 
to work around the issue.

The plan is to port to WK2 for Geary 0.12 however, so this problem 
should go away after that.
