galeon 1.3 - feature killer?

Hi,

I recently tested some versions of the new galeon 1.3. I must say that I
am really disappointed. I will now switch back to 1.2-versions.
What I noticed so far:

- You removed one of the nicest features of galeon, the keyword-search.

This was one of the main reasons I preferred galeon from any other
browser. It is even not possible to switch it back on as an option.

- It is impossible to view the source of a page with a shortcut. Hey,
this also is a major-feature. I am a webdesigner and I'm using this all
the time when analyzing my webpages.

- Most options aren't available through the galeon-options, instead you
have moved them to gnome-control-center (proxy, themes etc.).
I don't use gnome, but I would have to install lots of things from gnome
just to configure galeon.

When I started using galeon 1.2.x, I was really impressed by that
browser. But 1.3.x seems to throw away lots of things that made galeon
useful for me. I hope you change your mind and bring some useful options
back.

cu,

Hanno
