 I doubt libgtk would be handy to add a widget specialized in URL
 handling: this is typically very dependent of the content you want to
 handle.  For example Epiphany and Galeon display the page title
 associated with an URL when the URL widget expands to show possible URL
 completions.

 The URL widget is probably the most complex UI part of the Epiphany and
 Galeon code and is the result of a lot of integration; I fear iceweasel
 did not invest as much in this part of the UI yet.
