BTW, If your system doesn't have graphics drivers with proper OpenGL support that is an issue as WebKit tries to use accelerated compositing by default.

Maybe you can workaround this exporting the following environment variable that tells WebKit to not use the accelerated compositing paths.

$ export WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 
$ ./MiniBrowser

You can also try to load also the URL 'about:gpu' on the MiniBrowser that will tell you info about the detected capabilities of the graphics drivers
