As long as you don't run galeon at the same time on both machines,
things will be fine. 

The alternative is to symlink ~/.galeon to a different the directory on
the local machines (e.g. I have ~/.galeon symlinked
to /space/crispin/home/dot_galeon). The only problem with the symlink
method is that bookmarks aren't shared, but that has never really
bothered me.
