It appears the only way to get a new WebKitWebViewSessionState is by 
deserializing one.  Are you suggesting to serialize one, say, at startup, 
and then deserialize/restore it to clear the back forward list?

I was going to ask you how Epiphany does it, but it seems that it doesn't 
work quite right there...the back/forward buttons seem to stop working 
after clearing history.

Thanks,
Scott
