The reason is apparently that the root layer is not instantiated if the 
webview is never shown, see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107812 for 
a minimal example. I'll create a patch - but where do I push that then? Gerrit 
for stable branch? Who will merge it upstream into WebKit itself?

Cheers
