Have you tried reinstalling epiphany? Something like 'rpm -e epiphany;
yum install epiphany'? I don't use epiphany myself, so I can't tell you
any more about this, but I guess the rpm should install the proper icon.
'rpm -ql epiphany' gives you a list of all files contained in the
epiphany package, is the icon in that list? (maybe grep for png or
something.)
