Description Sebastian Keller 2012-07-25 14:07:12 UTC 
killall epiphany
cd .config/epiphany/
mv session_state.xml session_state.xml_bak
touch session_state.xml
epiphany

-> nothing happens

rm session_state.xml
epiphany

-> epiphany starts

The session_state.xml ends up empty quite often here due nouveau related crashes and freezes. Maybe atomic writes could help with that, but epiphany should start with an empty session_state.xml anyway.
