It worked for me after I set the gconf key below to true.

I was guessing that wasn't related to the problem.

No idea about that.

I'd suggest turning this off, the default is now off (for new lenny
GNOME installs, but it used to be on, so this setting is probably a
leftover from those days.

gconftool --set --type bool /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels false

To be honest, I have no idea. You'd have to grep the source code or hunt
through the menus to find the right action.

You'd have to do it while epiphany is closed, not sure why it didn't
work, perhaps the versions are different?

Cool, perhaps the bug should be closed?

I filed a similar bug against galeon ages ago, which is why I had this
thought.
