	Any idea when that might be? I do still have Galeon on another 
machine; it might be less trouble to get along with that than straighten

	Well, I will if I have to. But merely yum removing followed by 
yum installing didn't do it; shouldn't somebody patrolling repos have 
caught a broken major app? Or won't somebody, if I just wait?
