Isn't gnome2 LARGE by itself?  Or, do you mean if gnome2 is already
installed for something else (or maybe for its own sake), galeon's
size would not matter much (in comparison to firefox)?

FreeBSD, was having problem accessing "My Ebay" link from
http://(half|www).ebay.com/ a few hours ago) FWIW if any.
