You are right, I was messing both of the APIs...

> In WebKit2, downloads are handled by the WebKitWebContext. There's

that information was important for me too, because I was wondering what
job does `webkit_policy_decision_download` since before, nothing was
downloaded. I wasn't sure if `webkit_policy_decision_download` has to
be used to start a download.

Now, stuffs work! I can download a file where I want it.

thx for your great help. If you would like me to make a small example
of how downloading a file with webkit2gtk+ and gtk for your
ProgrammingGuide/Cookbook I could send it.
