I'm re-uploading the patch for master so that it no longer depends on bug #144613. This is because I want to move that bug forward, and we still haven't agreed on whether or not to support OS X in WK2. Since so few and small patches are currently required, it seems like a harmless good idea right now, but we've already agreed to make accelerated compositing mandatory and have no plans to implement accelerated compositing for OS X, so it's sure to break in the future and require significant work to update. Note that nobody can possibly be relying on this now, except maybe you, since the GTK+ WK2 API has never supported OS X before. And note also that implementing accelerated compositing for OS X would require significant time and technical expertise, so being realistic I doubt it will happen. The argument for not merging the patch is that if we don't merge the patch, nobody will waste time porting their OS X application to WK2 (which is often a major effort!) only to find OS X support
