           Summary: run-safari/debug-safari should disable application
                    resume for Safari by default
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.7
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Since Mac OS 10.7, Safari resumes its last saved state on launch. I propose that by default run-safari/debug-safari disables resuming for Safari with the assumption that a person that explicitly launches such a second instance of Safari most likely intends to have a different working set of web pages.

For example, I frequently run both shipping Safari and Safari with a development build of WebKit (via run-safari --debug) where the former instance is used for daily browsing/reading a W3C spec. and the latter is used for debugging an issue.

While it's sufficient to pass -ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES to run-safari/debug-safari to disable the resume feature, I propose making this the default behavior. That is, when the command line argument -ApplePersistenceIgnoreState isn't specified we default to -ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES (disable application resume).
