Oh, that's why webkit has been broken for the last few months! Yeah, it's been causing serious issues on my machine, i.e. if I accidentally started a webkit gtk app, the web content would be blank and I couldn't kill it, otherwise it would cause something like a GPU hang that amdgpu can't recover from, so I'd have to reboot.

So far I haven't bothered to investigate because I've been busy with things (like improving Firefox :D), but I'll see if I can fix it. It's good that they have a renderer that's not doing the ridiculous nested compositor thing now, we should have that working.
