Possible, though the vast majority of the menus aren't relevant in an
app-like setting- I'm not going to bookmark the mail I'm writing right
now, for example, nor when I'm using 'the gmail application' do I want
to adjust epiphany's plugins. It might be possible that want we want
is something like full-screen mode- a big 'print' button, copy/paste,
and save, with an 'exit to the real browser' button as well?

The theme between the question of last night and the question of two
nights ago, by the way, is that web-apps are a reality, and it might
be good for epiphany to consider how epiphany can make it very, very
easy and very, very good to use those in epiphany and in GNOME
overall.*

* I realize that for a variety of reasons web apps will always fall
short of our goals of usability and integration, and this is a shame,
but it seems better to cope with the problem and make GNOME a very
good platform to use webapps on, rather than ignore the issue on those
grounds.
