[webkit-dev] The mysterious IconDatabase

[Patrick Hanna]

It looks like you have to completely delete the address in the  
Address bar to get the icon to go away. If you don't delete the whole  
thing, the icon stays there. That looks like what you mentioned  
earlier about not flashing between the default icon and the custom  
icon while typing. Maybe I just need to add that sort of logic for  
hosts that match.

Thanks for the help,
Pat
