This is very unfortunate, but I don't see a cleaner solution, especially for WebKit1. :(

For WebKit2, IMHO, we should keep the same NSView in place, and use a new view to present the content in fullscreen. Since the WebKit layer is disconnected from the NSView, we can theoretically move the backend to a new view.

It would be good to provide the radar number in the ChangeLog for future reference. This radar is pretty good.
