Hi Pedro,

* Created a New User
* Tried epiphany file:// URL again
and found out:
  file:///some-real-file.html             does work
however
  file:///some-directory                  does not

Try:
  file:///usr/share/doc

Other hints to debug?
I've already installed a fresh copy of karmic in a chroot (original was an
upgrade), but same story.

Thanks,
Klaus
