Midori browser should now work on Wayland

Fri Apr 26 06:05:11 PDT 2013

Can you write that up as directions to add to
http://wayland.freedesktop.org/extras.html ?

Also, for interested folks, there is a #midori channel on
irc.freenode.net.

I've been using GTK3 master and the webkit patch from <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81456>, rebased against WebkitGTK+ 2.0.0; some weeks ago I asked #webkitgtk+ IRC what the status of that bug was and didn't hear anything, but I haven't had time to look into it since. They may be waiting on subsurfaces so that Webkit2 (which does out-of-process rendering) can be supported more easily.
