           Summary: GeolocationPositionCache should not start background
                    thread until a Geolocation method is called
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: steveblock at google.com


Currently, we start the DB thread as soon as navigator.geolocation is accessed. Then when a Geolocation method is called, we potentially use a cached position if one is available, but we don't wait for the cache.

We should change this to avoid starting up the background thread when navigator.geolocation is accessed, but its methods are not called.
