This has been discussed in here the last few days, you should find the thread with a few minutees' browsing. Basically, Galeon is no longer in Sarge. I myself converted my bookmarks and moved to Firebird (I posted in here how to do that if you don't have Galeon running). There is also a post in here describing how to salvage the situation by having both gconfs running; as long as you don't remove Galeon expecting to be able to install it again (which is what I did) you should be OK. You say in your mail that both gconfs appear to be running, but the output from your ps shows only gconf2. -- ....................paul "The average lifespan of a Web page today is 100 days.
