    ** Emacs crashes with SIGTRAP when trying to start a WebKit xwidget.

    This could happen if the version of WebKitGTK installed on your system
    is buggy, and errors out trying to start a subprocess through
    Bubblewrap sandboxing. [snip]

I wonder: Besides running into SIGTRAP, how do you know if you might
have a buggy version?  Does this happen on only old versions, or only on
new ones?

Would it make sense to add a brief note about that?  Just an idea.

(Please ignore if this is irrelevant, I haven't really been following
the xwidget work.)

I don't know.  I used to have a theory about which versions of WebKitGTK
were buggy, but that was disproven a while back, as even the version
that comes with Fedora 35 is buggy.

The self-built copy (of WebKit trunk) I developed the changes on works,
however, and it was built with bubblewrap sandboxing enabled.
