Comment 2 for bug 1039079

This bug report is also related to an other problem:
If there is a situation in which Lightread has troubles reading or interpreting the user data and there for fails to start, there is no easy way to recover for a user who has no idea about the internals of webkit. I had a such a problem just some minutes ago in
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightread/+question/206547 .

To allow the user to easily reset the application, I recomment to add a command line parameter "--reset", which will delete all user data and exit, before any data is used. On the next "normal" start the application will as on the first run again.
The actual loss of data would be minimal since mose content is pulled from Google. Only the authentication and a few settings would be lost.
