The UI for configuration was removed, but the backend functionality is
still there. However, you can't use GTM over corba because it's a gnome1
app while we're gnome2. You can still use it through a command line call
and that works well enough for most cases.

In gconf, go to:

/apps/galeon/Handlers/Downloading

and set:

external_download_command to "gtm -g %s"
external_downloader to true
