thanks for the response phil.
I tried your recommendation. Using gconf-editor I changed the values. They saved but did not affect
galeon's behavior.
The remark about corba I dont understand, is that related to c'&d'? 
gtm (testing) has agnome2 frontend, does that not mean it is G2?
Im trying to use  galeon like I use to (1.2.5) that is click save button and automaticlly goes to gtm.
Is that not possible?

sorry it took so long to follow up (exams and all that)...

    ron.
