Yep, bugs me, but not as much as no longer being able to do "Edit
Bookmarks Here..." or whatever it was called...  :-)

GConf Editor is your friend!  :-)   At least for the mouse button
thing... 

1. Run gconf-editor (possibly from Applications -> System Tools ->
   Configuration Editor).

2. Go to apps -> galeon -> UI -> Mouse

3. Set middle_button_action to 1.  (Wow, the help is back after a long
   absence, so you can see what the other values mean!  :-)

OK, they changed it.  1 is "Paste url in new tab", while 6 is "Paste
in current tab".  The latter is my preferred behaviour.

I've also got right_button_action set to 1, which is:

  perform gestures, displaying context menu on button release

The simpler gestures, like a right-to-left drag to go back a page, are
cool.

gconf-editor lets you access a lot of the options that have
"disappeared" in different applications.  I've got Galeon saving its
session on exit, and have managed to tell Metacity a thing or 2...
:-)

peace & happiness,
