Agree also. I have already stopped using the gnome desktop for this very
reason. I have attributed the lack of features in Galeon 2 to it's beta
state but if this how it is to be then I think that's a very unwise
decision.
To my mind, good design is something like "make things simple by
default, but allow expert configuration if desired".
