yeah you reallly have to use the builds that xan - carefully and
painstakingly - puts together, tests etc.
for midori ohh yeah that's webkitgtk-based - yeah, xan goes to a lot
of trouble to specifically patch the version of webkitgtk that he
releases, including patches that may not yet have been accepted into
webkit but are absolutely essential for stability.

i ran into an issue with libsoup in webkit 18 months ago - they did
some improvements that broke things... in webkit [with absolutely no
code-changes to webkit]. whoops. had to wait for the patches to make
their way through the system.
bottom line is: if you can get a set of "stake-in-ground" libraries
from anywhere, bloody well use them, don't arse about: there's too
much going on.
