To date, my toolkit familiarity has been limited to pygtk. That doesn't seem to be aligned with the WIP evident at github.com/linuxlite so I'm asking whether or not your roadmap intends gtk+ only.
I'm enthusiastic about the prospect of this
https://github.com/linuxlite/litewelcome...te-welcome
being replaced by something like this
https://github.com/shaggytwodope/manjaro-hello
because using webbrowser.open() seems preferable, compared to depending on python-webkit
(in the context of a distro which pre-installs firefox, not chromium/webkit)
The use of an embedded webkit browser, when remotely-hosted content is displayed, has always seemed to me like "throwing users to the wolves" naked, without protection(s) provided by any privacy / anti-tracking extensions the user may have installed (along with inbuilt ff SafeBrowsing + antiphish protections, if enabled). Although we trust that distro devs link to remote help pages "in good faith", apparently they neglect to consider linkrot. Additionally, and I'm not saying this is the case in Lite's implementation, user usually isn't even provided a tooltip/hint as to the destination, let alone offered a choice, an alternative means to copy/paste a target url and open with his/her preferred browser.
