Had the gconf keys been documented, it could have been useful, but
alas, most are not.  It is hard to tell what stuff means.  What is
e.g. /apps/galeon/Advanced/Crash/Crashed?  Samt thing with
about:config, which is damned hard to use...

I disagree heavily.  galeon is IMHO by far the best browser around.
And I certainly think 1.3 is a step up from 1.2 now (although it did
take a while, which is not surprising, seeing as it was a rewrite from
scratch).

I agree.  This could be a good solution, but obviously it would take
some effort developing.  If someone steps up and provides a patch
implementing more "hidden" configuration options, I'm sure the galeon
people would be delighted...
