Yeah! Galeon r0x!

Actually, I would guess that with the level of cooperation we've all heard
about betwixt KDE/Gnome, this should be possible, for any combination of
K/G browser/mailer. Real world, though, well ... it might take a few
occult incantations (muttered using vim into the proper cauldron of config
files). Fer example, I use Galeon and Sylpheed. I've entered the "mail"
command line into the Galeon prefs, and mailto links don't work. Sylpheed
gets "poked", but not to the point of openning the mail compose window.
