--- Comment #1 from Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro at igalia.com> ---
Problem is you can't use WebKit functions on a secondary thread like you're trying to do. It must only be used on the thread that called gtk_init(). Similarly, you need to make sure you only use GTK from the GTK thread. As a rule, most Linux libraries are not threadsafe unless documented otherwise.

You can still do long-running work on a secondary thread, but when you need to use the WebKit or GTK APIs, post the work back to the default main context using g_idle_add() or g_main_context_invoke() (assuming your GTK thread is your main thread; in theory you could use GTK entirely from one secondary thread instead, though I wouldn't recommend it).
