Ok, that's not how it was explained to me. |

I never said it was bloated, I said I didn't want gnome running. I was |
| 14 |
under the impression that gnome apps require pieces of gnome to be running. |

Much like konqueror, which actually starts kde, but doesn't bring up the |
| 16 |
window manager functions. |

Well, if I could actually emerge galeon, I'd check. I guess I'll try and |
| 22 |
figure out why galeon thinks I don't have Gnome ver >=1.2.8 installed. |
