Cookie Issues in uzbl- uzbl-cookie-daemon

I have two gmail accounts, one of which I rarely use. On the gmail login page, the less used account name seems to be permanently set in the Username field. Clicking the "sign in as a different user" link below that doesn't work, it brings me back to the login page with my alternate username filled in and unchangeable. I think this may be a cookies issue, and I don't see any cookies saved by uzbl anywhere, but I'd like to know how to restart the cookies daemons or clear the cookies. Again, I'm not sure what the issue is, so any suggestions are welcome.

Cookies are stored by default at $XDG_DATA_HOME/uzbl/cookies.txt

To kill the deamon

ps -ef | grep uzbl-cookie-daemon

I killed the uzbl-cookie-daemon process, and there's no cookies.txt in ~/.config/uzbl. However, I still cannot change the username at the gmail login page.

$XDG_DATA_HOME is ~/.local/share, not ~/.config

No matter how much I delete ~/.local/share/uzbl/cookies.txt, nothing happens

Re: Cookie Issues in uzbl- uzbl-cookie-daemon

So I'm still having this problem. uzbl-cookie-daemon seems to be malfunctioning somehow, but I've yet to find a way to view its output to see if I can spot the problem. Whenever I try to visit certain sites, the process "python /usr/bin/uzbl-cookie-daemon -v start" takes up a large part of my cpu and uzbl locks up. I've been unable to get more info than that, aside from the fact that killing the daemon allows me to access the sites in question.
