Indeed, the userChrome.css file is not used in Galeon for the user
interface. However Galeon can be configured in other ways:

When Galeon shows the context menus, it reads from a file called
"galeon-egg-ui.xml", this is usually in:
 
  /usr/share/galeon/galeon-egg-ui.xml

If you want to customize this file, simply copy it to your ~/.galeon
directory, and then comment out the menu items you don't want. The
context menus are all in <popup></popup> blocks, so if you wanted to
remove the "Save Background As" item, just remove the lines containing
"DPSaveBackgroundAsAction".

Unfortunately you will probably have to re-do these customizations every
time the galeon-egg-ui.xml file changes (i.e. you should check it every
time you upgrade).


The other things you want to change are slightly easier, properties of
widgets can be customized in a ~/.gnome2/galeonrc file, just put the
snippets that I have pasted below in that file.
