FC6 epiphany weirdness

[Beartooth]

Epiphany suddenly wouldn't launch. I got a notice on the panel for a
little while, then that went away.

I hit it with the big hammer : yum remove epiphany, followed immediately
by yum install epiphany epiphany-extensions. (It had removed the
extensions on the first command.)

It still won't launch.

I tried this : 

[btth at localhost ~]$ epiphany &
[1] 2017
[btth at localhost ~]$ 
** (epiphany:2017): WARNING **: An error occured while calling remote
method: 
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote
application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked
the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Whussup? What should I do about it?
