[Gtk-sharp-list] Help on getting Webkit Widget in Monodevelop?

This is, in fact, the problem which now stops me from suing
webkit-sharp. On OpenSUSE 12.1 I had already encountered the library
name issue, but a simple symlink from webkit-1.0.so.2 to
webkitgtk-1.0.so.0 solved the problem, so I didn't even have to compile
anything from scratch.

After upgrading to OpenSUSE 12.3, the trouble came back. Symlinking
didn't help this time. Neither did copying the recent lib to the name
expected by webkit-sharp. I also tried out the sourcecode (plus adapting
webkit-sharp.dll.config and then webkit-sharp.dll.config.in), but the
whole lot keeps on throwing the nasty DllNotFoudException: webkit-1.0.

Do you have a useful hint for me? Thank you.

Kind regards
