Description of problem:    
    
After upgrade from RedHat 8.0 to RedHat 8.0.92 when I start Galeon it will

running.

Every time.    
    
Steps to Reproduce:    
    
1. Upgrade from Red Hat 8.0 to RedHat Public Beta Phoebe.    
2. Start galeon. 
    
Actual results:    
    
Continous flow of started Galeons... 
   
    
Expected results:    
    
Only one Galeon happily running...

(Deletion of .galeon directory did not help.)    
This may be related to my reported issue about Mozilla:

How to fix the issue?

Comment 1 Nathan G. Grennan 2002-12-25 15:10:11 EST

I had a somewhat related problem with galeon a few days ago. I downloaded the
source rpm from mozilla.org and compiled both mozilla and galeon with athlon
optimization. When I started galeon it kept opening a new tab. It may have made
new tabs instead of windows in my case since I have it set to use tabs instead
of windows for things like popups. I would close the tabs and more would come. I
went back to Mozilla 1.0.1 for a while, but the native themes bug got really
annoying. So then I saw Mozilla 1.2.1 and Galeon 1.2.7 were in rawhide. So I
just downloaded them and they have worked great.

Comment 2 Ivo Sarak 2002-12-26 07:56:06 EST

There is definitely something "strange" going on with Galeon as when it start
doing "automatic starting" it will cripple Mozilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80375) and to stop this
has to be reinstalled.

Comment 3 Gene Czarcinski 2003-01-29 17:04:04 EST

I also saw this.  Updating to the rawhide packages for mozilla and galeon (plus
deleting the ~/.galeon directory so it had to start oven) fixed the problem.

That might have been one of the fixes that I included.  Marking as WORKSFORME.
