Thanks, Michael.  Unfortunately, a dbus daemon is running.  I'm not 
totally sure that it is the right one but . . . # ps -ax|grep dbus
53278  ??  Ss     0:00.00 /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system
53803  p1  R+     0:00.00 grep dbus

this is the version from ports/devel/dbus and epiphany still refuses to 
start.  I haven't shutdown and restarted the machine but will give it a 
try as soon as I can although I wouldn't think that would be necessary.

Thanks again.  Have a great day,
