as far as I'm concerned, this is the end of the argument -- shipping
software before its own developers release it in a desktop-oriented
distribution is the wrong move in my opinion. If the released version
won't build the way that you want it to, then don't ship the program at
all -- put it in contrib.

I will probably be holding back from 9.0 -> 9.1 upgrade until this is
resolved as I do use Galeon as my primary browser; however, I will also
investigate Mozilla as its usability and speed have been improving, and
it's always been slightly more stable than Galeon anyway.
