Negative. As I said, I'm trying to not build all of gnome ;-)

Ah, thanks, I'd not noticed that option for some reason. Hmm,
doesn't seem to make any difference. Running from a term, I see schema
errors - for nm-applet on my laptop I added dconf{,-editor} and
GConf, I guess those will also help here.
(There was a thread from years ago where I said I was happy to not
see messages about not being able to save changes to settings, but
Bruce recommended, I think to you, adding dconf. That has now come
back to bite me ;-)
And using a term, trying a random https:// site that I had not
looked at in epiphany, the message is
** (epiphany:17183): WARNING **: 21:27:58.430: Error retrieving filter
https://easylist.to/easylist/easyprivacy.txt: Unacceptable TLS certificate
That is a tracker-blocking site (there was a ticket related to that
when soemone was behind a portal). So the important part is the
'Unacceptable TLS certificate' part. A few matches for that and
epiphany at google, someone had this in Arch but updating certs
fixed that. Other reprots were apparently never solved, or else
blamed on specific versions of e.g. glib-networking.
I've now tried updating the certs, but no difference re TLS.
And theni I installed dconf, dconf-editor, gconf. No difference
at all.
Thanks anyway.
