When not using webui_wait, on linux, using the Gtk WebView executing webui_script sometimes needs the gtk event loop

[hdijkema]

And while webui is waiting for a result, no gtk event loop is processed and thus the application freezes.

I've solved this by using only webui_run and providing results of the function asynchronously.

See this last commit on webui-wire.

I see, I need just to confirm something, you are trying to use your own GTK window code (so, no need for webui_wait()), and you want WebUI to only connect your own window with your backend, right?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean with: "you want WebUI to only connect your own window with your backend"?

What I see happening is that when executing some javascript (not all), WebUI will wait for the result, however on Linux (libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0, linux Mint version 22.1 Xia), it looks like while executing javascript GtkWebKit expects a Gtk Event Loop processing events and when that doesn't happen, the javascript call will never end, thus freezing WebUI on that point in the code.

I indeed do not need webui_wait(). But I tried using webui_wait() also, which results in WebUI defaulting to a standard Browser window and not a GtkWebKit WebView.
