           Summary: [GTK] WebkitWebView's scroll bars ignore requests to

          Platform: PC

Short program to demonstrate the bug

>From the WebkitGTK docs:

"WebKitWebView is the central class of the WebKitGTK+ API. It is a GtkWidget
implementing the scrolling interface which means you can embed in a
GtkScrolledWindow."

However, if you tell the GtkScrolledWindow to always display the scroll bars
(by setting either the vertical or horizontal scroll bar's 'display policy' to
GTK_POLICY_ALWAYS), scroll bars are still not displayed unless the content of
the web view is bigger than the window, i.e., the scroll bars behave as if
their display policy were set to GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC.

The attached sample program displays a window with a short piece of HTML in it.
The expected behavior would be for both vertical and horizontal scroll bars to
appear, but they do not.
