In a few days. Want to experiment a bit first. See if it depends on a certain combination
of options. I had the problems with -opengl desktop. Currently I try -angle. Too bad... with
my machine plus the necessary webkit compile, I manage at max two compile runs a day. And with
'day' I really man 24hrs.

So what is the problem?

What really surprises me. And this is the reason why I want to experiment a bit.

Never said that there are no workarounds. Found easily one working for me. But every 
workaround has its cons. And with such a considerable compile time every failed 
attempt really hurts.
