You're right.  See attached.

The --disable-crash-dialog option is actually a standard GNOME option,
rather than a Galeon-specific one.  It refers to the bug-buddy dialog
that pops up when a GNOME application crashes, not the Galeon crash
recovery dialog.

Assuming you have OAF working properly, you can modify your shutdown
script to run "galeon -q".  This will tell Galeon to exit cleanly.

If you insist on not shutting down Galeon properly, you can fool it
into not showing the crash recovery dialog by modifying the galeon
shell script so it runs

gconftool -u /apps/galeon/Advanced/Crash/crashed

before starting Galeon. :)

... because we got into a big flamewar about the preferences window a
while back and ended up removing most of the silly options that didn't
make much sense. :)

I'm going to look into how easy it would be to trap the TERM signal so
we can shut down cleanly; if this isn't possible, I'll add a command
line option to disable the crash recovery dialog, if the other devs
are okay with this.
