However, the Galeon changelog on galeon.sourceforge.net indicates to me
that Galeon 1.2.3 works with, and in fact requires, Mozilla 1.0rc3.
Specifically, the line that says "mozilla 1.0rc3
compatibility/requirement. And until today (or maybe yesterday), sid had
Galeon 1.2.1 and Mozilla 1.0rc2, which is an unsupported configuration,
yet they didn't conflict, and have been working okay for me.
