The problem is that you once ran galeon as root and the session manager
saved that. It's a problem with your KDE configuration files; the
problem isn't with Galeon at all, since Galeon never even runs.

I don't know exactly how to *fix* the problem (being a GNOME user). But
to get started, go to KControl and start looking for something along the
lines of "Session". If you can "save your current session" or something
along those lines, that would also solve your problem.

(Terminology: your "session" is your collection of running programs. The
idea is that you log out, turn off your computer, come back 5 days
later, log back in, and the same programs are running.)
