What in practice I want to happen ...

Ok so now I posted the abstract rationale.
These are the things I want to happen for 2.0 to match my vision more. Feature
freeze is not far (2 weeks), so it's probably worth getting decisions soon.

- Removal of web developers specific features. I want consoles to be removed
from the ui (can still accessible with javascript: ...). If it's useful
to avoid a fork of this part we can keep Page source in the menu. After
all IE is used for web pages development and it's this way (I think).
It would make a lot more sense to have a separate galeon-webdev package
ihmo that would add these functionalities and others mozilla already provides.
Prolly too later for the freeze unless someone want to work on it.
- Removal of galeon specific sessions handling. We will obviously keep to
support gnome session.
- Simplification of mime handling. The start point is the interface I have
with the just-vfs option. I would be fine if it's added a way to select
another gnome vfs handler from a list (maybe a checkbox or a button with
another dialog), esp if this avoid a fork of this part. 
I cant promise I'll hack it though. Two weeks are not much and I have to
be able to get out a release also.
- The applications page is an UI mess. I think support for legacy mailers
in the ui should be dropped (It's really too confusing... clear from the
bug reports we are getting). I'm not sure about external downloader support.
Mime types editor will be remove for the prvious point.

To make a decision I think we really need a matching list from Ricardo and
Philip. And obviously their position about these points I did.
