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.
