Created a dedicated, fullscreen GTK window for the WebKit view to bypass X11/Wayland embedding limitations. Implement a QTimer-driven event pump (ensureGtkPump) to process GLib events within the Qt event loop. Configure the GTK window as undecorated and always-on-top to satisfy kiosk mode requirements. Update destructor to properly clean up the new top-level window.

- Around line 39-41: Bound the GTK event-draining loop in the QTimer::timeout
callback around gtk_events_pending and gtk_main_iteration so each timer tick
processes only a limited number of iterations or elapsed time. Preserve GTK
event handling while ensuring continuously added callbacks cannot block Qt event
processing indefinitely.

official GTK 3 documentation gtk_main_iteration gtk_events_pending event queue callbacks
💡 Result:
In GTK 3, gtk_events_pending and gtk_main_iteration are functions used to manage the main event loop manually, typically to keep the user interface responsive during long-running operations [1][2][3]. gtk_events_pending This function checks whether there are any events (such as window resizing, key presses, or draw requests) currently waiting in the event queue to be processed [1][4]. It returns TRUE if events are pending and FALSE otherwise [1]. gtk_main_iteration This function runs a single iteration of the main event loop [2][5]. If events are waiting, it processes one or more of them; if no events are waiting, the function will block until the next event is received [2][5]. Typical Usage and Warnings A common pattern used during long computations to update the UI is [1][3]: while (gtk_events_pending) gtk_main_iteration; While this pattern allows the UI to catch up (e.g., to redraw progress bars or respond to user clicks), relying on it is often discouraged in modern GTK programming [6]. It is frequently considered a red flag because manually driving the main loop can lead to unexpected re-entrancy issues, where callbacks triggered by event processing interfere with the state of the long-running operation [7][6]. Recommended Alternatives Instead of blocking the main loop with manual iterations, the following approaches are generally preferred [6]: - Asynchronous patterns: Use GLib timeouts (g_timeout_add) or idle functions (g_idle_add) to break up long tasks into smaller pieces that run without blocking the main loop [6]. - Threading: Offload blocking tasks to a separate worker thread and use g_idle_add or similar mechanisms to schedule UI updates safely back on the main thread [6]. - IO-bound tasks: Utilize the GIO library for non-blocking I/O operations [6].

Bound GTK event processing per timer tick.
If GTK callbacks keep adding pending events, the QTimer::timeout callback can remain in the while (gtk_events_pending()) loop and block Qt event processing. Limit each tick by iteration count or elapsed time.
