Well, I could be hallucinating, but FYI I tested this by comparing the
two Epiphany versions side by side. Version 2.29 was running in a Sid
chroot (schroot -p). The new version looked brighter and a wee bit
clearer. I first noticed this improvement on another computer I'd just
upgraded to Squeeze. However, maybe the difference is something to do
with X.org?
