One-Window Browser

The following is a very simple example of how to use WebKit2GTK+. It simply creates a single window containing a browser instance that displays a single web page.

Once you're comfortable that you understand this example, you may want to review the more complicated GtkLauncher example program. This is contained in the WebKit source code, in the Tools directory, and demonstrates more features of WebKit2GTK+, such as how work with the browser history.
