<pre>Sorry you got hit by this. I put out an warning on webkit-gtk list and GNOME distributor-list.
Do consider that WebKit is probably not a good dependency for a display manager; if you happen to have unlimited time and money, an automated test (e.g. using OpenQA) to make sure your distro boots to the login screen would be a good investment.
(Anyway, I wonder if the security semantics of localStorage with respect to local applications are properly understood. As far as I can tell, the same database under ~/.local/share/webkit/databases is shared by all applications. All installed applications are necessarily trusted, but this still seems non-ideal.)</pre>
