I killed all twb-owned processes except for the following screen-+-emacs22-+-sh---ssh---ssh | `-ssh---ssh |-ssh `-tail ssh ssh sshd (Experience has shown that leaving gconf and/or dbus daemons around can fuck up attempts to clear user preferences.) I then deleted the following dotfiles/dotdirs: .gconf .gconfd .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 these being all dotfiles/dotdirs matching the strings "gnome" or "gconf". I then started gdm, logged in, and ran epiphany as normal. The problem still occurs. I believe this demonstrates the problem is not caused by my gconf/gnome/epiphany settings.
