[webkit-gtk] webkitgtk v1 removes <select> arrow while v3 hides it

[Eerste Laatste]

The good:
Using CSS "-webkit-appearance: none;" for <select> **removes** the arrow
and thus becomes **smaller** on web browsers like Chrome/Chromium/Safari
and also on a GTK(2) build of wxWebView [1].

The bad:
In the GTK3 build wxWebView [1] the arrow is **hidden instead of
removed** and thus the <select> has extra width for the arrow which it
does not show.

The ugly:
Since i am using a series of <select> items in a row like a ODO meter in
a vehicle but every digit click-able to change, so for example 10 in a
row look like "1234567890" while the same on webkitgtk3 is like  "1 v 2
v 3 v 4 v 5 v 6 v 7 v 8 v 9 v".

The solution:
??? don't have one yet, please advise...
