…and this library doen not exist, so that the whole lot crashes.

True. I still have Gtk# ver. 2 on my machine.

I can't find it anywhere on my disk.

Officially, this package provides the lib you cited above, but something
wrong must have happened during its installation as I can't find the lib on my
system. BTW, the installation process completed without any error messages.
Strange! :-(

After re-installing, I have libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.17.5 in /usr/lib64, but webkit-sharp,
of course, looks for webkit-1.0, doesn't find it…and crashes…
