[ILUG] Galeon and gnome

[Hunt, Bryan]

Lads lets just admit that the easiest way to get <trol> crappy old galeon
</trol> up and running is to install Gnome rather than tracking down 1000 +
1 dependancies.

Tenses are not the same here - I *understood* wrong. Since then I 
have revised my understanding (based on your reply). Now I
*understand* correctly.

Grand. Your standards of accuracy are also noted. I consider that
for the purpose of being useful, rather than exact, to most people, 
it is not excessively dishonest to say that a base GNOME install is 
needed for Galeon. Of course, if I were being completely honest, I 
would list the individual libraries required. But I feel that the 
response would be less useful to the majority of people.
