           Summary: [GTK] Icondatabase is created for Epiphany during
                    gtk-doc and gobject-introspection scan
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: plaes at plaes.org


When building Epiphany with gtk-doc or introspection support, Webkit's
icondatabase directory and WebpageIcons.db is created outside build environment
(in user's data directory: ~/.local/share/webkit)

On Gentoo, packages are built within sandbox environment - therefore when
something is created outside the build environment, the build fails with access
violation error and this error happens in two cases:
1) When building with introspection support, access violation happens when it
runs the  ./epiphany --introspect-dump=...
2) with gtk-doc, the violation happens during: "gtk-doc: Running scanner
epiphany-scan" phase.

I have no idea how these scanners work, but the database creation code is
inside the webkit_init() and it seems that webkit_init gets called in both
cases, thus causing the access violation.
