For epiphany:

- Disable JavaScript's control over window chrome
- Hide menubar/toolbar/statusbar by default
- Disables loading of content from unsafe protocols.
- A list of protocols to be considered safe in addition to the
  default (http, https)
- Disable the user's ability to type in a URL to epiphany.
- Disable the user's ability to edit their bookmarks.
- Disable the user's ability to edit toolbars.
- Disable all historical information by disabling the back button, not
allowing the history dialog and hiding the most used bookmarks list.
- Ability to disable specific settings by making the gconf key not
writable

We have a few more keys that didnt make 2.6 but will land on head as
soon as I have time to review clahey patch.
