 That's totally different situation. User fills the form rendered by
Gtk::MozEmbed - so there is no way to extract the values of the form elements
he filled (of the form Gtk::MozEmbed shows)  - so it's impossible to form
POST/GET request (parameters are not known).

 All Gtk::MozEmbed apparently can't is just submitting forms - it loads URLs
just fine.
