See http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/197150

Form the UI process you can send events to the widget. That's what we do for our tests or for web automation. That depends on the toolkit, of course, GTK+ in this case.

Yes, essentially it's exactly the same, it's the same code called from two different bindings (JS and GObject), but I agree that GOboject bindings can only be used from a compiled web extension that we are currently considering trusted for many other things. So, we could probably change the DOM API implementation to generate trusted events, or at least add a way to do so.
