Bug#375003: epiphany-browser: does not save state on logout from gnome

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.14.2.1-2
Severity: normal

Epiphany does not save the current state (in particular, currently open
pages) when I log out of GNOME. I have set the GNOME session options to
automatically save changes. When I log back in, epiphany does not reappear.
When I start it manually, it just displays a blank page. Not long ago, I
also needed to start it manually, but it would ask whether to recover its
state from before it 'crashed'.
