I do know that WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 is required without adding the 
dbus session config.

Anyways, when libportal updates, which is required for Epiphany 43. I'll 
need to modify the desktop file to change

exec=epiphany
to
exec=env Malloc=1 epiphany

and, i'll need to include a dbus session config that'll go into 
/etc/dbus-1/session.d/webkitfix.conf
