Implemented both these suggestions and this has reduced the crashes
quite a lot (by a fifth I would say). Also, as strange as it sounds,
Galeon seems to be working fine with evolution now. So, I can actually
reply to emails using Evolution while previously, the reply window
would freeze if Galeon was running.


Thanks,
