As to question B, there is a workaround (I remember having the same
problem about two weeks ago). I don't know if it's the best way, but as
libwebkit-1.0-1 is only compiled for m68k in the Debian repo's, I got it
from the Ubuntu one's
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libwebkit-1.0-1/download). It
seems to work fine.
