I didn't expect WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX fix the problem, that was because I wanted to make Epiphany perform more like WebKit MiniBrowser. Now I think hardware compositing and hardware video acceleration are two different modules, and they have a mystic conflict when both enabled. Sandbox plays a role, though.
