	I finally deleted all bookmark files I could find for Galeon, 
both in .galeon and in .mozilla; rebooted; immported my main stash from 
Opera into Konqueror; and re-imported them all from there to Galeon, 
which had indeed launched after the reboot.

	I'll have to reconstitute my last session -- or a new standard 
session -- as best I can; but I *have* Galeon again.

	Anybody knnow a way to guard against this happening again??
