Well, I'm back to running galeon. The problem was a bit weird, but is
almost certainly a non-FreeBSD specific one.

I had a specific web page loaded when I exited galeon. The page rendered
when originally loaded, but, when displayed (in a tab) at galeon startup
from the saved session, it produced the GLib error shown and led to
galeon crashing in an ugly manner where I was unable to get a backtrace
or core file.

I deleted the entry for that page from .galeon/session_saved.xml and
galeon once again started up without a crash.

Now for proof that I am an idiot. I forgot to record the URL of the site
that caused the problem, so I have no way to do further debugging on
it. :-(

But, at least galeon lives again. Now on to gnome-2.6!

Thanks again for all your help.
