webkit-gtk objects are actual GObjects, so they have thread-safe
reference counting from GLib, including g_object_ref() /
g_object_unref().

Mikhail mentioned WKRetain/WKRelease already -- being a c++ newbie I
had to read up on this recently: if I understood things correctly they
end up calling ref() and deref() respectively in ThreadSafeRefCounted
(which does what the name implies, either using mutexes or an atomics
implementation inside wtf) .

HTH,
  Jussi
