[webkit-gtk] window.webkit undefined?

[Antonio]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the response. It was my fault after all! Setting the signal / 
webkit_user_content_manager_register_script_message_handler calls on the 
wrong content manager instance.

Things work as expected now from JS in the web content (I do want the 
web content to be able to post messages to the C counterpart).

Apologies for the noise,
Antonio
