It looks like Ubuntu 9.10 does install webkit by default. I haven't tried any of the other 9.x versions so maybe all the 9.x versions include webkit now...

Good news, but I wish you would use webkit for all platforms: this would allow you to feasibly spend time to develop an API to let RB interact with the DOM in real time in apps. (Like you can in .NET and the embedded (IE) browser.)

Thanks. It's really great news. I've tried using the new htmlviewer on Linux Mint 7 (based on Ubuntu 9.04) and while it worked fine when I loaded a page from code via a string, it crashed when I tried to load a url with the LoadUrl method (a segmentation fault).

I wanted to file a bug report, intalled the Feedback application, but when I launched it said I had no license key and I saw no way to add a new report.
