Bug#256504: epiphany-browser: -x command line switch no longer works

[Nathan Dimmock]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 1.2.6-3
Severity: normal

Although the manual still mentions it, the very useful command
line switch, "-x url" which makes epiphany load the url in an existing
epiphany window no longer works, and instead opens a new window. 

A workaround is "-n url" which opens a new tab instead of a new window,
but this is not what I want, and this used to work fine until I upgraded
this morning.
