I'm not really convinced that xfwm is the problem; it's more likely to
be something in galeon.

I'll probably revert to Skipstone again at some point.  

Mozilla is not usable (IMO) because it requires a separate profile for
each instance (you get a prompt to create a new profile any time you
start a new instance, which is a bummer).

Galeon has the aformentioned problem and it has the #@!% blemish of
prompting you each time you restart instead of just quietly
restarting.  

All three have excellent tab functions, but Skipstone has the plus
feature of automatically opening a new tab in the running instance
when you double click on a uri (in email, for example).
