 it's a good point that you raise

 as the gobject bindings can, with care and about 100 lines of restructuring
code per port, be utilised in _any_ port, i would suggest that the discussion
be opened to all ports not just the GTK+ port.

 if you want to do it the "clumsy" way [and least disruptive way], you can see
how little code is required, from this:
   https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27430

 so, i would suggest that this be discussed on webkit-dev [and will assume that
that's reasonable, and will open the discussion there].

 in anticipation that the discussion will take the path of "least resistance",
and having been involved in this _and_ in XULrunner's DOM bindings, and so
having a significant amount of exposure to the issue that you raise, i'll
re-submit the patch with the corrections from #27435#r2.
