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!
