Just a suggestion, WebkitGTK by default using g_get_user_data_dir() for storing sqlite database file. In Windows this path mapped into My Documents folder not Application Data folder. It would be nice to use APPDATA environment variable using g_getenv() instead for Windows.
According to the documentation for g_get_user_data_dir, GLib uses CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA on Windows. Documentation for the CSIDL_Foo constants is here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762494(v=vs.85).aspx. If this location isn't consistent with what a Windows user expects, wouldn't it make more sense to file this bug against GLib?

I'll dig this more and report to glib.. I think this report can be closed

I think this report can be closed Thank you for reporting the issue! If you find that this is indeed a problem with WebKitGTK+ feel free to re-open this bug.
