WebKit uses thread-specific data in quite a few cases so objects in general expect to be created, used and destroyed on the same thread. One of such examples are timers, frequently used as deferred tasks. Creating a view and loading a url into it likely creates one or more of such timers whihc are stored in thread-specific list. So the code verifies that we are still accessing the thread-specific list on the same thread on which we were creating the timer.
Can you create view on the same thread where gtk_main is called?
