Bug#490345: epiphany-browser: Unable to connect to session bus

[Alexandra N. Kossovsky]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.22.2-3
Severity: normal

When I start epiphany-browser, it complains to my xterm:
bash$ epiphany-browser 

** (epiphany-browser:7623): WARNING **: Unable to connect to session bus: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session


And it pops up following warning:
"Epiphany could not connect to the session message bus. Your default settings will not be available." <Button with "OK">

I do not run gnome session, and I guess it is the problem. However,
I think epiphany should run necessary parts of gnome instead of printing
mysterious message, just like konqueror can run outside of KDE session.

Thank you for your work.
