Well, that's what I was doing before. I still think it would be useful to 
have the plugin searchpath configurable in Galeon (even if it only was in 
about:config or in gconf). But hey, Red Hat users will have to start a 
shell-script and revert to killing galeon-bin then.

I don't agree, but that's ok. Now I know what to do.
