to revert the break since the API is supposed to be stable, so Evolution
and other applications shouldn't have to do anything but downgrade their
WebKit/GTK+ and be patient.

Regardless, Evolution has worked around the breakage in git for now.
Distributors can add this commit if they wish to ship Evo 3.5.90:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=485704419b11685e4753024dabec53d1668aaa9d

Whether I revert that commit depends on WebKit/GTK+'s next move.

Maybe worth a followup post if you think it's worth it.
