I had a discussion with many people on #webkit & it seems people consider Gtk-Webcore Project ( http://gtk-webcore.sourceforge.net/ ) as dead project. Well but still, if people had any plans to do Integrate the GTK-Webcore project then please mention. > > What is the relation between this port and the existing Gdk port?

I havent seen anyone maintaining gtk-webcore project except a few initiatives here & there. It lacks much of the further webcore enhancements. If you have seen the gtk-webcore code base's NRCore library it is much earlier version(less featured too) of current Webkit's Webcore . The current GDK port of Webkit is also not much maintained. It is having a much advanced WEbcore but it lacks a NRCit kind of abstraction layer which is there in GTK-webcore Project. > I don't know if the gdk should be replaced in future by Gtk elements, or > if only some elements of Gdk should be implemented with elements of gtk > port. > > About replacing GDK elemets with GTK elements , it is much on the demand of the kinda of browser interface. According to my understanding GTK elements internally use GDK drawing primitives. So GTK provides much nice Widget set than the drawing primitives of GDk.
