Thanks for this proposal. There's one thing I haven't been able to decide that
stopped me from implementing it..

We were originally hoping to make WebFrame independent of GTK+ (only using
GLib) so it could be used in non GTK+/console GLib applications. If we add the
print API to WebFrame, that plan needs to be re-thought.

If we put the print API on WebView, we end up restricting the API only allowing
the main frame to be printed.

I have a feeling there's another simple way of doing this we've missed so far.
Will think about it some more.
