Hello Albrecht,

I have had webkit-gtk-2.22.5 (Gentoo naming) installed on 10 January,  
and balsa has been running fine, including displaying HTML.  I just did  
a git pull and rebuilt, and it still seems fine.

As for debugging, I don't know/remember if Ubuntu provides debug  
symbols for packages?  If not, you could just build your own debug  
version of webkit.  I don't have a particularly hefty PC, and my last  
webkit-gtk compile was about three hours.

Probably of no help - my previous versions were 2.22.5, 2.22.2, 2.20.4,  
2.20.3, 2.18.6.  (side effect of Gentoo is a good log of all (or most)  
installs, including compile time.
