            Bug ID: 201418
           Summary: [GTK] WebKitWebPage created only after its
                    WebKitWebView is mapped
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKitGTK
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

This seems to be a new behaviour, at least with webkit-2.26 branch at r249413, which I currently use.

The WebKitWebPage is created only after its WebKitWebView is mapped. I can understand it's useful for web browsers, but it's not that useful for other usages, at least not always. I can change the code in Evolution, but I'd like to know whether it's intentional and whether it's possible to influence the behaviour by any option (on WebKitWebContext or WebKitSettings?).

The thing is that Edit->Preferences in Evolution opens a window with several tabs (GtkNotebook) and one of these tabs contains a WebKitWebView. This tab is never shown after open of the Preferences. Evolution does some generic initial setup of the DOM of this WebView, but as the corresponding WebPage doesn't exist yet, the initial setup fails.
