If you are looking for the correct set up with galeon/nautlilus then
my answer below is not relevant.

Personally, I used lynx from a xterm. It works great. Or I simply use
my (always) running XEmacs to load the file; the crypt package unzips
them for me on load. I'm just old fashioned I guess.....
