Anyone interested in opening this can of worms?

Nokia started a project on sourceforge, but it hasn't been touched since 2004/2006, and doesn't want to compile on my Ubuntu Dapper machine. (They only seemed to have tested it with Red Hat 9)

So I'm wondering: How hard would it be to convert regular WebKit into C and make a browser front-end with GTK+? Reasons are obvious: XUL is bloat, Mozilla/SeaMonkey does too much, Dillo sucks, Konqueror needs QT/KDE, and Safari is OSX-only.

And if someone knows what libxml-2.0 is, and why dapper doesn't have it, or any other tips on compiling gtk-webcore on ubuntu 6.06, that would be appreciated.

Konqueror needs QT/KDE

So does WebKit/KHTML. Konqueror is based on KHTML.

Safari is OSX-only

Safari is available for Windows also. I got one installed on my Win XP

WebKit has a native Gtk+ port in the Subversion repository. See trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/BuildingGtk for more information. You can simply download the source, then run './WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit --gtk' to get started.

So does WebKit/KHTML.
Please note that there is no such thing as "WebKit/KHTML". WebKit and KHTML are very different code-bases at this point in time. WebKit only requires Qt when building the Qt port. The Mac, Windows, and Gtk+ ports are all independent of Qt and KDE.

I know Webkit and KHTML are different. I was just using the terminology which the OP used in the thread title. My above comments were more targeted at KHTML than at Webkit.
