This assertion is telling you that the code expects to be running on the main thread.
You're also probably running a debug build since assertions are disabled in release builds.

It runs on Fedora10, kernel 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686. The WebKit version I'm using is the r44111. Here is my problem : I'm creating a new web view in the main thread, say, thread A. The webview is then attached to a gtk_window as it's made in the GtkLauncher exemple. Then webkit_web_view_load_uri() is called, always in thread A. Finally, the gtk_main() function is called in another thread, say thread B. And it crashes with the following trace : ASSERTION FAILED: m_thread == currentThread() (WebCore/platform/Timer.cpp:206 bool WebCore::TimerBase::isActive() const) I experience this problem with the webkit r44111 and r43808, but not with r38297. I noticed that there must have been a modification in the thread management between the builds r38297 and r43808 since g_threads must be initialized. But I can't figure out why it doesn't work. Any suggestions or specific rules to follow about multi-threading, gtk and webkit ? Thank you for your help. -- matt
