moving to GTK3 is neede to cherry-pick this patch
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/commit/cbe0a1f04928963085c0056a63c4930a73829e05

this should be done in a single step :)

upstream seems aware of it, and probably will do some work on porting to something lighter,
but I don't see the webkit2gtk as a possible issue right now, do you?
