Re: Youtube killed Epiphany dead

Not knowing whether this is an Epiphany problem, a Fedora problem, or
possibly a Privoxy problem, I have set followups to

I was running Epiphany-2.14.2.1-1.fc5.1 behind privoxy-3.0.3-9.2.1
(unmodified, as installed) under Fedora Core 5. A friend sent me a URL,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8uefBUOfgA which I put into one of eight

or ten tabs and clicked on.

The video -- a clip of a rather hoky-looking blue-eyed penguin, supposedly
used by a German stand-up comedian named Dieter Nuhr, which turns toward

the camera and works its beak, supposedly uttering a certain vulgarism.

I don't normally do sound, anyway, but decided to try it this time. Never
got any. Tried to open the Preferences dialog : clicked on Edit, then on
Preferences; that word took the highlight -- and everything froze.

I clicked FC5's Force Quit button, and closed Epiphany.

Now clicking the epiphany icon causes the browser to try to start, and

then fail. The command line gets me only this :

[btth@localhost ~]$ epiphany &
[1] 18375
[btth@localhost ~]$
** (epiphany:18354): WARNING **: An error occured while calling remote
method: No reply within specified time

Then, trying the next thing I could think of, as root, got me things way

beyond my comprehension :

[root@localhost ~]# ps ax | grep epiphany
12248 ?        Ssl   21:02 epiphany --sm-config-prefix /epiphany-pXAGFV/
--sm-client-id 117f000001000115067871600000054740017 --screen 0 18381

pts/1 R+ 0:00 grep epiphany [root@localhost ~]#

(I've changed the line ends to get postable length, and moved the new
prompt to its own line, as it is on my terminal.)

I suppose I need to know how and where to get into epiphany from the
command line and get rid of the youtube URL and its tab; do I also need
more? Anything to do to privoxy or Fedora itself??
