(From update of attachment 181287)
The composition messages from the UI process to the Web process must be async for sure. Synchronous messages from WebProcess to the UI process are okay(ish), but the other way around is a wonderful source of crashes because they still allow for the processing of other sync messages, so they aren't fully blocking.

In Qt we made it a policy to not have these, so if we want to share the code this change fixes a regression. If Gtk needs the messages to remain sync, then we have to fork the code.
