[webkit-gtk] Gamepad Support

[Adrien Plazas]

Hi,

I did a quick search into the source code but couldn't find how 
WebKitGTK+ handles gamepads. Does it directly handle the gamepads or 
does it rely on a library? Using http://html5gamepad.com/ my gamepad 
doesn't seem to work on GNOME Web, see the attached screenshot. Is it 
implemented at all in WebKitGTK+?

I plan to soonish export the gamepad support from GNOME Games as a 
small GObject based library. I would like to use it in Games obviously, 
but also on other GNOME softwares like Quadrapassel, Nibbles and maybe 
WebKitGTK+.

My ultimate goal is to make gamepad support shine on Linux, creating 
and spreading this library is a step in doing so.Ultimately I would 
love to have gamepad calibration in GNOME Settings so that all software 
using gamepads could benefit from it.

Would you be interested by such a support and dependency?
