Fine then... who's gonna build a seperate "gecko" package and change
galeon's requirements to needing gecko and not mozilla ?? ;-)

My point was, he still needs mozilla *installed* and will be using
*parts* of it with galeon. You may be exactly right about the memory
leak being in a module that galeon doesn't use and if so, he'll be in
good shape.
