the browser that does nothing...
WebKat does NOT have:
address bar
scroll bars
tool bars
menus
status bars
What does webkat do?
display url from command line and create a shortcut
optionally set window size
optionally allow web inspector dev tools
and just sit there (like my cat)
Use it to connect single page webapps to your menu

Requires valac v0.18 or greater

$ cd webkat
$ make all
$ sudo make install
Trouble?
Note - this should not longer be necessary, I'm now using a local copy of the vapi to compile.
if you get this error:
error: Package `webkitgtk-3.0' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories
```bash
$ cd /usr/share/vala-0.nn/vapi
$ sudo cp webkit-1.0.deps webkitgtk-3.0.deps
$ sudo cp webkit-1.0.vapi webkitgtk-3.0.vapi
$ gksudo gedit webkitgtk-3.0.deps
```
Then:
change gdk-2.0 to gdk-3.0
change gtk+-2.0 to gtk+-3.0
save and quit
install/src ./webkat --name=Facebook comment="Facebook" --webgl --debug --icon=/home/bruce/Pictures/facebook.png https://www.facebook.com
