grr...  Oh, well.  Thier generic webbrowser icon is stupid anyway.

In RH8.0?  I have tag files in /usr/share/gnome/apps and they do not show up.  I
know how GNOME menus work, and something seems odd.  It almost looks like RH
hotwired it to use /usr/share/applications for both desktops?  The stuff in the
GNOME dir shows up under the extras tab where all the catagories are
duplicated.....  Again with the "Someone thought this was a good idea?"  But I
drag the galeon icon to the taskbar - and then I don't care where on the stupid
menus it shows up.
