           Summary: Creation of WebKit icon database causes data loss if
                    ~/Library/Icons exists
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.1)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: Images
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: wootest+webkit at gmail.com


Whenever the icon database in WebKit is created, it creates the ~/Library/Icons
folder, *overwriting anything that's already there*. If people don't know to
keep their stuff out of the Library folder, it causes data loss.

I am short on details for where exactly this applies since it has happened to a
user of my product who sent me an email telling me that my product is
misbehaving, but it is certainly reproducible using the WebKit that's used with
Safari 3.1.
