        "Look, buddy, doesn't work is a strong statement.  Does it sit
        on the couch all day?  Does it want more money?  Is it on IRC
        all the time?  Please be specific!"

(one of my favorites :)

Selecting text and pasting with the middle mouse button generally
works.  However, there's this little annoyance that if you select the
URL from the location entry and switch tabs, the selection gets lost. 
In galeon 1.2 there is a workaround for that effect, someone would need
to port it to 1.3.  I wasn't able to understand it when I had a look at
it a long time ago :-]
