I use KDE, but it sb similar for you.  My  .xinitrc  is :

  # PP 060514 : for KDE : to enable Epiphany
  xscreensaver &
  dbus-launch startkde

I start X from the raw command-line with 'startx',
so if you're using the equivalent of 'kdm', it mb a bit more complex.

Generally, I'm a fan of Epiphany, but occasionally it freezes the machine:
there seems to be some bug perhaps involving Javascript.
