typically

We couldgo the route of finding the top level GtkWindow and extracting the application ID from there, but then you would be introducing a dependency on GTK here, which I'm not sure that's what we want as, for instance, this provider might be used from other platforms too (e.g EFL).

Why would that introduce any dependency? We could have a method in WebCore platform to get the application name that GTK+ and EFL can implement. But in any case, I'm not concerned about the actual solution at the moment, I'm just asking whether this is a workaround to have a bug filed and a FIXME comment here so that we don't forget about this.
