On my Guix system, epiphany with webkitgtk-2.32.0 seems to work fine
(with Guix at commit 14392c77896561c5846c0f3a0588720792d61e95).
The window appears and I can browse websites, and it doesn't print any
error about 'bwrap'.
I'm using StumpWM and not Gnome Shell; I don't know if it has an impact
on epiphany's behavior.
