           Summary: .Mac synchronization can not be disabled in safari
                    preferences
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: nonoctave at yahoo.com


In Safari Preferences->Bookmarks, there is a checkbox "synchronize bookmarks
with other computers using .Mac". If you disable it, quit Safari, and restart
it has checked itself back on. You can even switch to a different preferences
pan, like tabs, and switch back to bookmarks and it is re-checked. It seems
that it does not actually ever get unchecked except graphically for the time
that the pane is open. The result of this is of course that Safari engages in a
lot of web traffic when shutting down, and a brief burst when starting up. This
behavior creates problems because for security reasons it constantly must be
analyzed to determine if it is actually a trojan input manager or other such
malware that is resulting in the web traffic.
