Have a look at the 'about:plugins' page in galeon. Is the plugger plugin
listed? Are the appropriate mime-types listed and enabled?
I'm not sure which setting gets the higher priority - so, I would try to
remove all the settings regarding pdf documents in galeon.
Last but not least, xpdf does not support an -err switch, remove that in
pluggerrc-4.0 or replace it with -q.
