I have mixed feelings about this idea. On the one hand, I like that new windows are new processes. It makes sense, and ensures that unix tools like kill, and I imagine workload schedulers, work as expected. On the other, webkit-gtk is slow and memory-intensive, and seemingly has been designed with a many tabbed one grand window sort of thing in mind. Which makes deciding how best to play with it difficult.
