Okay, thanks -- some comments below:

Why with-temp-buffer?

xwidget-webkit-new-session creates a new buffer and switches to it,
which is not appropriate if you want to obtain a buffer containing the
new xwidget.  I suggest that you write a new function that creates the
buffer, displays the xwidget, and returns the buffer, preferably also
updating xwidget-webkit-new-session to use it as well.

See above.
