           Summary: Provide new setting to allow site icon loading despite
                    disabling automatic image loading in general.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit API
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: alice.liu at apple.com


Turning off the WebCore setting for automatic image loading has the intentional side effect of disabling site icon (favicon) image loading.  It's possible that a WebView client may actually just want to turn off image loading in webpages but still want to load site icons so that the icondatabase gets populated.  I'd like to add an additional preference that is heeded only regarding the icondatabase.
