Still, please accept my apologies in advance if I mentioned something that makes no sense at all. I was really willing to try your patch here before commenting to make more valuable comments, but something went nuts in my machine and I guessed it's better to provide you some feedback now that maybe not feedback at all until the next week.

You are perfectly right that AtkUtil is something global and WebKit should not even know about this. Would also be great if this was somewhere in EFL. I'm just trying to workaround this problem, that's why I'm trying to do it in WebKit.
Generally, more I'm getting into it, I'm closer to the conclusion that WebKit is not a good place for initializing ATK-BRIDGE stuff.

to workaround this problem
> The problem here is that, as far I can understand now, we don't have that "clear root AtkObject" as in GTK (in GTK+ atk_get_root() returns the AtkObject associated to the GTK Application) but "many root objects" instead, one per WebPage. And we can't just create a global AtkObject being the parent of all the topmost AtkObject's (the AtkPlug's) in the WebProcess because that would break the implementation of AtkPlug in the ATK bridge, which expects atk_object_get_parent() to return NULL over the AtkPlug object.
> 
> So, perhaps that's why you added that dummy object in the first place, I don't know... but now I think more of this and see this problem, I wonder whether it was not a good idea after all, or even if this thing of having a "dynamic root object" will work fine.
