I did the same, Anne, and I found that while it works properly, its
really s-l-o-w. Slow to start up and slow to move along the Web. I was
under the impression that Galeon uses the Gecko engine of Mozilla, or
something core to it. How can it be that a Gnome app on a KDE platform
should outperform a neutral one like Mozilla? Is it my system or
something else?

The truth is I like the pop-up control and tab feature of Galeon over
Mozilla...I think its better and more intuitive. Then there's the better
import capability over Mozilla. That one makes no sense after how long
Netscape has been competing with Internet Explorer! Still, I do
recognize that Mozilla has aspects of it that makes it a better choice
over Galeon..for one...lack of dependency on the Gnome project
architecture and the lack of interaction with KDE. There are other
reasons for my believing this. 

Any ideas why Mozilla would be so much slower?
