------- Comment #5 from cosimoc at gnome.org  2009-03-25 06:53 PDT -------
gir-repository is a scanner which grabs all the public API inside the installed
*.h files from a library and generates a .typelib file containing all the
introspection information to be used by the gobject-introspection system.
This error arises when you have a function which is declared as public inside
the .h file (webkitauthsoupdialog.h in this case) but doesn't have the right
visibility setting inside the shared object.
We can solve this in two ways
- adding the right visibility to the function (which is what this patch does)
- removing the header from the installed webkit API files which, if the dialog
is really private and not meant to be created by some third party client other
than WebKit itself, seems a better solution to me. In this case, I guess all we
have to do is to remove the header from the relevant section inside
GNUMakefile.am

I hope this somewhat clarifies the issue, sorry for not having been clearer in
the first place.
