I don't recommend using WebKit from different threads than the main thread. Right now there are bugs where soup callbacks do not take the GDK lock, so loading from some other thread can crash your program. Additionally it seems that GDK is removing the ability to use it from other threads entirely (see the recent threads about removing the GDK thread APIs on the GTK+ mailing list), so fixing these bugs seem much less important now. If you *really* need to decouple the browser from the UI thread, the right approach is to use WebKit2 and to help us finish it. Another tactic is to look at what is slow during rendering and help us make it faster. Trying to reimplement WebKit2 via threads with WebKit1 is probably going to cause a lot of pain for you. --Martin _______________________________________________ webkit-gtk mailing list webkit-gtk@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-gtk
