Description Adam Williamson 2023-07-18 22:04:56 UTC 
This is a downstream report of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259320 , filed for openQA and blocker/FE tracking. As reported there, the problem is that with webkitgtk 2.41.6, in virtual machines, webkitgtk-based apps (including Yelp and Epiphany) do not display any content.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a recent Fedora Workstation Rawhide nightly in a VM (possibly only with 3D passthrough disabled; haven't tested)
2. Try and run Yelp and view a help page, or Epiphany and view a web page
Actual Results:  
It shows only a blank rectangle

Expected Results:  
It should show the expected content

Fix for this is posted, I tested it, it works, will backport it so we have less breakage in Rawhide tomorrow (hopefully).

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
