[Dillo-dev]Starting with a blank page

With 0.8.2 I could use "file:/dev/null" as start_page to begin with a blank page. However, it seems that using the same trick with 0.8.3-rc1 leads Dillo to complain that it "can't start dpid daemon". Should this be fixed or should there rather be something like "about:blank" to start with an empty page?
