This is a simple trick, but I thought I'd post it anyway:

You can add the following line to your xinitrc file. I add it right before the "chooser.sh" line:

Code:
exec galeon -s --server-timeout=0 &


This starts galeon running in the background so that whenever you click it, it loads up much quicker. I use it so the IE-accustomed people using my machine don't click like maniacs waiting for it to load.

You all probably already knew about, but just in case you didn't.

OK :-) , great idea BUT every time I start X I get a msg from GALEON about:
1) start with no sessions
2) start without sessions
3) don't start galeon

...something like this, how can I avoid this?

I assume you are getting the "Galeon crashed last time, do you want to discard the last session, or resume it, etc."

Basically I think it means that when you last stopped X, the galeon -s process was not stopped gracefully, hence the "crash".

I get that error when I don't "log out" of Gnome (if I CTRL-ALT-BS) and then startx again, but not every time. I would try a number of things to get it right. I would try different tests like removing the "exec", or changing the location of the line in the xinitrc file, perhaps after the chooser.sh line (not sure about the affect this would have). I would also check for an option in man galeon that would disable that check and append it to the "galeon -s" command, although this wouldn't really FIX the problem.

Perhaps someone with a little more knowledge of the X init process can provide some insight.

A bit of simplification..

I now just have

Code:
galeon -s &


in my xinitrc file...

Please be aware that this caused problems (I believe from gtk1 vs gtk2) with the non-gtk2 versions of galeon. After emerging 1.3.3 all is well.

Code:
galeon -sd &


removes that nice annoying message when you start the server
