The problem would be with mozilla. They share the rendering engine, and
galeon takes its engine from mozilla.

I'd go to the galeon site and get 1.2.1, and go to the mozilla site and
get 1.0.rc1 (there's newer, but not a newer galeon yet). update mozilla
(use --nodeps or it will tell you galeon needs the old one), recompile
galeon and run that. I'm using that combo and have had no problems.

I did use the mozilla you're using (not an RH version, but one I got
directly from the mozilla site with a slight numbering variation), but I
used a different galeon and don't recall having problems with that
situation either. So it's possible it's something else. I just don't see
anything else in the list that would cause that kind of problem, though.
