I'm initializing a new web context like this, according to the API instructions, to put all cache/data directories under data_dir, which is a hidden subdirectory of my home directory:

    manager = webkit_website_data_manager_new ("base-cache-directory",      data_dir, 
                                               "base-data-directory",       data_dir,
                                               "disk-cache-directory",      data_dir,
                                               "dom-cache-directory",       data_dir,
                                               "hsts-cache-directory",      data_dir,
                                               "indexeddb-directory",       data_dir,
                                               "itp-directory",             data_dir,
                                               "local-storage-directory",   data_dir,
                                               "offline-application-cache-directory",
                                                                            data_dir,
                                               "service-worker-registrations-directory", 
                                                                            data_dir,
                                               NULL);

    context = webkit_web_context_new_with_website_data_manager (manager);

I've also tried it using a separate subdirectory for each line, all under the same directory. In either case, it does not work. The subdirectory gets created and there are a few (empty) entries put there, but actual local storage remains under ~/.local/share/webkitgtk and the actual cache is put in a ~/.cache subdirectory. The hsts-cache does appear to use the user-supplied path, but nothing else does.

I'm marking this as a major bug, because it prevents different WebKit browsers from using their own individual cookies, cache, etc, which totally screws me.
