Just as a reference, you might want to think about making a
~/.htmlviewrc file which contains:

  X11BROWSER=epiphany

...instead, so that any other calls that get set up to use the general
redirector "htmlview" will end up going to epiphany as well. I was under
the impression that htmlview was for this purpose originally, but I
believe it has a lot of interaction with the GNOME Preferred
Applications settings as well as the File/Services settings.
