Background: there was a mozilla security update.  Ximian and SUSE both
released mozilla updates and the galeon updates that those mozilla
updates necessitated.  Due to communications problems, the XD2 and SUSE
Linux 9.0 versions didn't quite agree in version, and the SUSE version
is now available (even in Red Carpet) as an update over the XD2 version,
despite the fact that it doesn't work in XD2.  We should have a new
update available for XD2 soon.  In the meantime, the current XD2 galeon
works with the current XD2 mozilla, which has the security fix, so
there's no real need for XD2 users to upgrade to SUSE's current galeon.
It's a slightly newer version, and it may have some bug fixes and
updated translations, but it's probably not critical to switch to the
newer version.
