Sure, I wouldn't want that to be the default ;)

Well, actually I have it configure as "Text Besides Icons" but Epiphany 
behaves as if "Text Below Icons".

Well, that's not an option as you would loose the currently selected text 
from the copy-buffer. A button that erases the Location-bar (or some other 
mechanism that doesn't need a second hand for the keyboard) would be 
greatly appreciated ;)

It would be nice to have it available more easier. In some cases I have to 
use different proxies for different destinations. At home and at work I 
have a server providing me a PAC file. But at customer-sites this is a 
mess. Being able to switch between configurations with a minimal number of 
clicks would be nice. (Galeon had this and removed it from Galeon2 ;-( )

I don't know whether GNOME allows the PAC to be on the harddisk. That 
would be a solution in some cases but being able to select a 'customer' 
PAC from a menu would be even better ;)

PS Let's test file:///home/dag/.pac/customer.pac, I guess it needs a 
proper mime-type though.

Thanks for your feedback.
