Sorry, I misspoke: the issue is that it *prints* nil: if I have a widget
open, and press 'w' or call `xwidget-webkit-current-url', the message I see
in the minibuffer is always "URL: nil".
This happens even though (xwidget-webkit-uri (xwidget-webkit-current-
session))  does return the current url. Therefore, I think the problem is
in how the function uses `kill-new'.
