Ok - let's try this backwards... I'm usign Debian Sarge 3.1r1, Kernel 2.6.8-2-386 (*Stable*) -- and "Sid" is considered *Unstable*, so it just may be a Bug...IOW, expect some issues with apps/etc. I don't see how d-bus, nor hald are playing a role in this, unless you mean the DCOP Server(?) which is part of KDE -- but just in case you mean D-Bus see below; * Are you running (either/or Epiphany, or the OS, or Both?) from a USB Keychain or an External Drive perhaps? (Tell us more about your Setup). * I have all all those settings I mentioned and many more in Epiphany; See here (Filtered via "browser.tab"); <http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a217/iforone/liygdpifduidouhtouiytr.png> Note - what controls many of these settings in Moz/FF and Epiphany are User.js(which I can't find for Epiphany) -- and PREFS.JS (which exists here on this box) Perhaps you also run Moz/FF, ...and Epiph is using it's/their Config Settings (Prefs.js _AND_ User.js for Config) -- these files usually live beneath $HOME/$User/.mozilla (or maybe called .firefox) and then deeper--> /default/xxxxxxxx.slt/ Somewhere in that PATH may be a /.profile subDir (Notice the Dirs with the leading ' . ' -- this designates a .hidden Dir or File) View and Edit these files (Prefs.js and User.js) with any Text Editor. * Have you gone into Epiphany's Edit | Preferences | and on the "Privacy Tab" done this? <http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a217/iforone/liygdpifduidouht.png> And while I agree (compared to FF/Moz) the _amount_ of choices/preferences are Slim -- that's what helps it be so very f-a-s-t.... And changes are in Real-time AFAICT. * Have you installed any/all Dependencies? --- On to the D-cop stuff --- I issued this command just now; $ sudo /etc/init.d/dbus-1 stop Stopping Hardware abstraction layer: hald. Stopping system message bus: dbus-1. I tracked dbus stuff using this command; $ locate dbus and then it's just from sorting and checking files ...and knowing /etc/init.d is the main startup/stopping script Dir -- but more info about dbus can be found in various places as seen from checking out the various files returned from issuing above command BTW - I also checked my various /var/log/ files for any pertitnent info about hald and dbus, but even the syslogs don't have much to say So -- also run $ ps aux I still think you're barking up the wrong tree - since I've had External links open New Windows (which means a new *Instance* of the browser (not tabs) in whatever browser I was using - and the fix was to Stop *that* external URL loading from doing that via Forcing any new "browser instance" to open in a Tab instead Regards __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
