Description:
webkit2gtk 2.16.2-1 causes AUR package xiphos-git to hang.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
The xiphos-git package is by default compiled with enable-webkit2

I made a git clone repository from the xiphos.org web site.

When I compiled xiphos using:
python2 ./waf configure --prefix=/usr --debug-level=release --gtk=auto --enable-webkit2
python2 ./waf build
python2 ./waf --destdir=./ install

everything compiled with no problem. When I ran xiphos it hanged.

When I did not use --enable-webkit2 and it ran using webkitgtk package just fine.

I do not know if Mozilla Thunderbird uses webkit2gtk through firefox, but the latest upgrade shows it hanging after a while causing me to quit and restart it.

I hope that this helps :-)
This task depends upon

Did webkit2gtk 2.16.1 work without hanging?

Thunderbird is unrelated as it doesn't use webkit.
