Well, with a little patch in our F18 rpm, I have all the web
activities working ok in webkit1. A important missing feature is the
web inspector, but they work ok.

I was looking at compile the webkit rpm from F19 in F18, but had many
dependencies. I didn't explore other alternatives.

Agreed, not easy, but needed in the long run. IN fact other of your proposals,
like use wayland will need it
