Running Fedora 18 with xfce4, clicking on "web" often starts
a launch which then dies, without ever getting to a site.
The link for "web" leads to the Epiphany site; I have no clue why
Fedora doesn't call it by its name.
What could be causing these failures?? And what can I do about it?

Well, if you installed via the Xfce spin or yum groupinstall the web
browser should point to 'midori'.
Try running it from a terminal? Is there any error output?

No; but that may mean nothing. I tend to run it on some machines
and not others, according to what I use the machine for and how heavily
its uses impact performance.

Xfce spin maybe; I don't recall. Not yum groupinstall, anyway.
But it has been a long fight (see elsewhere on this list) between Firefox
(which I kept getting) and Dillo (which I wanted).
Try running it from a terminal? Is there any error output?

None of that tells me anything; I hope it does you.

Not really. The command I was looking for output from was 'midori'

That just gave me a process number, and my prompt back.
[btth@Hbsk3 ~]$ midori &
[2] 28302
[btth@Hbsk3 ~]$
I already had midori open, which is probably what that "[2]" is
about; at any rate, it opened a new instance rather than a new tab on the
running one. (If there's a choice, I'd prefer the opposite.)
I *think* midori's now the default, rather than Dillo.

The [2] there means it's the second background job in that shell. You
must have started something else before as [1].
It's actually still the same process, just a new window by defaut. You
can get a new tab by going to preferences -> Browsing and setting it to
open in new tabs instead of new windows.

We used to have firefox as the default and switched to midori in f19 I
think. (might have been f18). dillo has never been a default in the
Fedora Xfce spin.
So, your orig report was that clicking on the web icon brought up
epiphany and it crashed? Perhaps file a bug on epiphany? Or am I
misunderstanding the issue?
