Keeping Galeon with Gecko has at least one significant advantage ...
Gecko's useable and maintained, but GTK+ WebCore doesn't seem to
compile (for me) and seems to lack developers. I suspect if the Galeon
developers wanted to switch, they'd have to start mantaining too much
of their rendering engine, too.

Though I'd be happy to see it pick up some steam.

(Apologies to Misu.)
