Revisions to Geary blurred on HiDPI screen, possible to compile with latest WebKit version?

Just found out we need the version for Ubuntu Vivid as the one for Trusty is still *2.4.8*. Also, libwebkit*2*gtk has nothing to do with the problem.

No need to compile anything: you can just update to a newer libwebkitgtk - then Geary (and other applications like e.g. the WiFi login window) will use that instead of the old one. I think the issue was fixed in 2.4.9, but the version currently available in the repository is 2.4.8.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webkit-team/ppa
sudo sed -i s/trusty/vivid/g /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webkit-team-ppa-trusty.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 libwebkitgtk-3.0-0

Don't blame me if that breaks things - I destroyed a lot while finding the solution!
Edit: fixed a lot of wrong things about this :D
