Probably a cleaner solution would be to go to Desktop Preferences -
Advanced - Preferred Applications and set a custom browser to whatever.
I did set this to MozillaFirebird and it seemed to work fine. That way
you don't have to worry about an upgrade to epiphany overwriting the
binary.

Heheh, that seems like alot of trouble to save some CPU cycles and disk.
I jsut build it and forget it.

...and in this case, mozilla w/ gtk2 looks pretty nice.

This is a direct quote from Obz one of the gnome ebuild maintainers:

	the GNOME ebuild as provided by us, is a wrapper for the  
  
complete GNOME desktop which is what the GNOME project deems
		as their
complete desktop. However, there's no reason that you 		need to
agree
with them on what makes your desktop complete, 	  the wrappers are
merely for your convenience. If you open up  the ebuild (as
pointed out in previous comment) and remove the 	 lines with the
packages you dont want (I always remove out  	acme, file-roller
etc,
things that I just dont need) and 	  emerge, you should be
fine. 

Just beware that this changes will be overwritten on an rsync,
so you'll need to alter them again if you need to remerge 
later.

SO I assume that you can comment mozilla/ephiphany out of the ebuild and
not have them emerged.

 I have just got back after 3 months away and got home to find that my
 boxes have finished running an emerge -up world (ha, nope, I started
it
 remotely, it's not been running for 3 months - my machines aren't
_that_
 old).
 
 Anyway, the only problem seems to be with Gnome 2.4 and epiphany -
Gnome
 won't build without it (or at least, I can't find how to disable it)
and
 it requires Mozilla 1.4 built with gcc 2.x.
 
 I don't really want to recompile Mozilla with gcc 2.x (after the pain
of
 getting the 3.x Java plug in working). Is there a work around?
