HI With what i understood from ur talk and considering u r working on Gtk port - >
U want to build Webkit as engine -> It is built as shared lib in Gtk port. U can comment GtkLauncher (or WebKitTools/GNUmakaefile.am) in your parent make file. This will not build GtkLauncher. In turn u now have only Library or engine that would do rest of things for You. Then, u can write your own program (just like GtkLauncher, for reference u can have a look at WebKitTools/GtkLauncher/main.c) which will create and xpose WebKitWebview pointer to this lib where all Html will be drawn. Thisway webkit engine is seperate from GUI. > from the GUI? I want to create something like WebKitGtk or WebKitQT but we > of course would call it our WebKitTalk or something.

I hope i got u correct on this -> U really dont need to care about this rendering part. Dont even think about modifying it unless essential. It is very comprehensive and calable of handling html very well. Also u r not very specific abtou wht u need. That adds up to problem. So in short i dont understand why u need to care about rendering engine. It will be tweaked only if u want something like native widget support in your application.
