[Bug 68945] crashes on startup, never shows up

[Toni Heinonen]

Public bug reported:

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:
