[webkit-help] webkit_web_view_load_uri from thread

[zaheer ahmad]

hi,
webkit is not thread safe so you should not be calling apis from other
thread.. if you really want parallelism try the way android is designed and
adapt it to gtk.. making gtk (+ all other libs in the linux world) work in a
threaded enviornment is a big challenge..

regards,
Zaheer
