Kevin,
I recall that problem.  I had it when I ran RedHat.  Sorry, I am not
certain exactly what fixed it, but I do recall upgrading to galeon 1.2.5
and upgrading imlib.  

Olivier will have some suggestions.  :) 

A couple months ago I switched to Debian (Libranet) and have not had the
problem since and I use _only_ XFce.
