You killed your X-session without quiting gnome, did you?
I think the problem lies in some files in your homedir. IIRC
there is a directory called ~/.gconf if you move that out the way and
restart gnome you're galeon will start just fine.
Maybe it is possible to repair the problems in a more intelligent way,
but this seems to do the trick.
