I managed to compile webkitgtk 1.8.1, 1.9.2 and 1.6.3. From these 3
builds only 1.6.3 is able to do proper PDFs through cairo.

Version 1.6.3 is also the one that allows my program to detect
properly when the page is "done" through the property 'load-status'.

Could it be that I'm not using Webkit properly?
Is it possible to use cairo to render PDFs with webkitgtk >= 1.8.0?
What's the best way to detect when webkit has finished rendering the
page (assuming that there's no javascript that will be triggered)?
