Report it to the galeon developers. They used to provide a galeon-bin and 
a seperate shell-script (that I've commented out in the SPEC file now). 
The latest release stopped doing that and the developers specifically say 
that you don't need the shell-script anymore.

Most probably they overlooked all the uses of the shell-script. For 
reference, here it is:

	#!/bin/sh

	### Written by Dag Wieers <[email protected]>
	### Please send suggestions and fixes to me.

	if [ -z "$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME" ]; then
	       MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="%{_libdir}/mozilla-%{lversion}"
	fi

	LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
	MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH="$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/plugins:%{_libdir}/mozilla/plugins:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

	export LD_LIBRARY_PATH MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH

	exec %{_bindir}/galeon-bin $@

I hope that they can provide that functionality from the binary so that 
the shell-script is no longer needed.
