Hi all,
So there's a situation upstream with webkit, dbus and the epiphany
browser. Basically, in future versions of webkit, because the default
dbus socket path is an abstract socket, it will crash pretty much no
matter what.
What needs to change to get around this, is to change
<listen>unix:tmpdir=/tmp</listen> in /usr/share/dbus-1/session.conf to
<listen>unix:dir=/tmp</listen>.
Now upstream dbus is considering making the latter default. Now my
question for all of you, is simply. What do? When I next update epiphany
should I include instructions for the user to modify their session.conf
to get it working?
Relevant issues:

-Thanks
