  I suggest to use gtkhtml2 instead to get at least CSS rendering.
GtkHTML was not designed to be a full-blown HTML rendering widget,
gtkhtml2 is.

  It should also be easier to upgrade it to new specifications from
the W3C like XHTML.

  I'm currently an Amaya user, it may take a bit of time before I get
convinced to use another HTML editing toolkit because it allows me to:
   - load a page
   - display it graphically
   - modify it directly in the rendered view
   - save back the resource using PUT in a single button click.
 I.e. fixing a page for a typo or something like that take less than
30 seconds, including the time to load the application.

  But I will certainly try out other options,
