If your Linux has Python+WebKit installed (e.g. it is pre-installed in 
Linux Mint), you can use the following solution to display the web page 
in all types of window (easily tailored with/without scrollbars, 
topmost, bottom-most, etc., sized and positioned):

I integrated this browser into my WYSIWYG Webpage Editor for Linux 
(written in LC of course) in various ways:

Naturally, the LC embedded browser will be even more convenient when it 
comes along, but with the solution outlined above my personal need of it 
is no longer urgent at all.
