You can use Gtk applications in the web using Broadway.  That's why I enabled
Broadway in our gtk+ package a long time ago.

Try it:

broadwayd :1 &
GDK_BACKEND=broadway BROADWAY_DISPLAY=:1 gedit &
icecat http://localhost:8081/

(broadwayd is in gtk+'s "bin" output)

Not saying we have to do that--but it's possible.
