Gnome epiphany 2.14.2.1

how do you get into your desktop environment?

do you have a .xinitrc?

if you do, your probably not launching dbus with the session.

example:
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session

or if you have more than one line, just put this one before your gnome-session line:
eval `dbus-launch --exit-with-session --sh-syntax`

can you make sure dbus is running (you can see on the runlevels or ps aux | grep dbus), if it's running try running dbus-monitor and epiphany from a terminal.
