I did about this exact thing.....using FreeBSD.  I couldnt get Epiphany 
to run nor could I get xfce to run.  I ended up going into the default 
wm and trying Epiphany.
I am not sure what caused this or why.  I never did get Epiphany to 
work, nor Evolution.  I did reinstall xfce and it worked.

Sorry I cant give you a brighter outlook. Maybe someone else will.


But then again, you do have backups of all your configs...right?  ";o)
