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.
