Bug Description

I'm using latest edgy and epiphany-browser 2.16.1-0ubuntu2 and I can't get it to show up, it hangs when running either from menu or CLI and never shows any graphical elements.

When running from command line with gdb:

Thanks for your bug. Where does it hang if you run "strace epiphany"? might be a /tmp socket issue. Does it work after restarting your box?

I've had it once since, but it seems rebooting helps. I guess it has to do more with my X, which I've had problems with (but that's another bug).

doesn't seem to be an epiphany problem, rather a libICE one. It happened only once and there is not enough informations to do lot of it.
