Why not just use Qt and QtWebkit if you want to do that?

Qt has javascript bindings, so you get dbus etc all for free.  You can
also implement parts in c++ for performance speed ups etc.

(For example, I do this in my own app -
http://userbase.kde.org/File:Ksysguard_detailed2.png which is part of
http://userbase.kde.org/System_Activity )
