[webkit-dev] _blank hrefs and new windows

[David Kilzer]

Hi Srinivas,

Everything I know is in the bug report.  I don't work on the GTK port, so I
don't really have any further insight to share (other than there's a patch
waiting for review on the bug).

Have you tried applying the patch to see if it fixes the issue on your local
tree?

Dave
