This doesn't seem to be the case. The details from the previous sessions
I found living in ~/tmp/epiphany-noodles-*/ but starting up dbus (or
rather, making sure Epiphany could find the already running copy) didn't
make them available. It has solved the problem of bookmarks disappearing
over sessions as expected though.
