[Grace-core] Web-based compiler problems

[Kim Bruce]

I just loaded it fine under FireFox.  It apparently is a Safari problem.  Another Safari problem is that the console output does not appear in the bottom left of the window, making the implementation pretty useless on Safari.

We should either fix it or put a warning in the paper that it does not work properly in Safari.

I hope the gtk material can be integrated into the main web-based stream relatively soon as the lack means I can't use it for most of my demos where I am doing graphical applications using the objectdraw library.
