Actually, the desktop version on Ubuntu Lucid does crash for me as well, with a message that is a little more useful:
Code:
>>> import webkit
web>>> webkit.WebView()

GLib-ERROR **: The thread system is not yet initialized.
aborting...
Aborted
Googling a bit around seems to indicate some versions of webkit initialize the thread system itself, and some need it specified. Not sure why, really...
