After investigating it a bit, I found that libwebkitgtk is the
responsible for setting the G_TLS_GNUTLS_PRIORITY environment variable.
For that reason, I am reassigning this bug to it.

If you do:

  export 
G_TLS_GNUTLS_PRIORITY='NORMAL:%COMPAT:%LATEST_RECORD_VERSION:!VERS-SSL3.0:!ARCFOUR-128'
 ; midori

You don't see the failures anymore.  That's the default value used on
libwebkit2gtk, whereas libwebkitgtk uses:

  NORMAL:%COMPAT:%LATEST_RECORD_VERSION:!VERS-SSL3.0

I.e., without the !ARCFOUR-128 part.

I leave it to the libwebkitgtk maintainers to decide whether this
default should be changed or not.  IMO, it should.

Thanks,
