In fact, I'll be happy to see it disappear. I probably need to find a way to dump it off my development system in order to make sure that certain older GNOME libraries will continue to function. Those applications just label the dependency as "WEBKITGTK" or something similar, with no other indication as to what version that they are looking for. GtkHTML might be an example, although I don't have a book in front of me and am several hours away from one. Douglas R. Reno --LFS/BLFS systemd maintainer
