problems running galeon2

[Yoav Avitzour]

I lately tried to install galeon2 and it although it installs fine, it
crashes immediately upon startup, with many Gtk-CRITICAL and
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL messages (below). I re-lined all glib, glib-2,
gtk+-2 and their dependencies, but it still doesn't run. Anyone has any
ideas ?


The errors when starting galeon2:
