[webkit-dev] segfault when having multiple webkit instances (got backtrace)

[Luka Napotnik]

Thanks for the quick reply. It seems that locking the GDK subsystem
before every call to WebKit is not enough. Can this be a problem with
the way how WebKit manages memory? Is there a locking function for that?

Greets,
Luka
