Galeon has been removed from Sarge.  I posted a few days ago (in this 
list) a method to recover the bookmarks file into Mozilla/Netscrape format.


I think I read somewhere that the Galeon developer stripped a lot of 
functionality out of 1.3 and then left.  Certainly, there appear to be 
questions about Galeon's future (if any).

So for me, I'll stick with clunky ol' Mozilla for the time being.
