If I copy webbrowser.py to /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0 and 
then
run ./webbrowser.py it starts whithout any problems.

But I can't run it from other path.

If I run ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
make install
python demos/webbrowser.py

It runs without any problem too.

If you want to run demos/webbrowser.py after using only ./autogen.sh, you 
should use
the following:

PYTHONPATH=.libs python demos/webbrowser.py

That's telling python to look for webkit.so in .libs and not in the default 
/usr or
/usr/local.

Let me know if that fixes your problem.

Resolving as WontFix as I don't really have to do anything here. Please reopen 
if Comment 3 doesn't solve this 
problem.

Thanks for the report.
