>Description:
	As part of the firefox2 eradication project I undertook
	recently, I rebuilt all of the firefox2 dependencies
	with WITH_GECKO=libxul defined in /etc/make.conf (and
	installed libxul, of course.)  Most things seem happy,
	but not epiphany.  It built cleanly, (and continues to
	build cleanly as I occasionally deinstall and reinstall
	it), but it doesn't run.  Instead, it produces
	stdout/stderr output something like:

	The epiphany GUI window opens, but it is blank, and all
	mouse activity in the window causes more of the same
	sort of messages to stream forth on the controlling
	terminal.

	Clearly, this xpti manifest is a big issue, but I can't
	figure it out.  Anyone know what it's looking for, and
	where to find it?

>How-To-Repeat:
	# on a working and current GNOME system:
	cd /usr/ports/www/epiphany
	env WITH_GECKO=libxul make build deinstall reinstall clean
	epiphany
>Fix:

	I just use firefox3.5.3 at the moment, but since
	epiphany is still my defualt browser, functionality is
	impaired...
