It's faster (and was faster in 1.2) to override this behavior with a
stylesheet.  Now that 1.3.x has a stylesheet chooser, I've got a
"black-and-white.css" stylesheet in ~/.galeon/stylesheets/ and apply it
when I hit a crufted-over page.

Since it's not re-rendering every open page/tab (just the current one)
it acts *far* faster.  Might even make a good internal implementation.

See above.
