No problem. :) You can find a 1.7.2-h14 deb package and a pre-patched
tarball at:
  http://www.dsl.uow.edu.au/~harvey/epiphany/debian/

Technically the package and tarball are more up-to-date than the h14
patch itself. I won't make a new patch release until I get some feedback
from Epiphany devs on the current patch and implement their changes.

I don't mind, except that the patch is almost a fork in some ways. Not
all features may end up merged, and not all things may be compatible
with future Epiphany releases.

The bookmarks toolbar has been removed. You'll have to hope this is
final or it'll piss off your users if it's reinstated later.

The toolbar file format is also changed by my patch. It *should* be
backwards/forwards compatible, but I make no promises.

Some user interface issues are yet to be resolved. Like "View/Toolbar"
should be a submenu. That probably won't be resolved until the patch is
merged with CVS.

You most likely will get no support from Epiphany devs. Crashing bugs
have been found (but hopefully resolved in the deb package and tarball).

Other than that, go ahead. :)

See ya,
Peter.
