           Summary: Adding webkit_init to the API instead of calling it
                    inside the class_init functions
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: alex at igalia.com

We have found some situations where doing the transparent initialization of the
class_init functions is not enough, for instance when a program starts creating
a KURL, the developers would have to call other function that calls the init
before creating the object. This is causing problems like the one in the bug
28947, which could be in other parts of the library API.

The option that could fix this problem is adding the init function to the API
and asking the developers to call it before using any API function.
