What you can compare is: > - installed packages (dpkg --get-selections), especially Mozilla > plugins, such as swfdec, or libflash, or real player... Your suggestion made me think it could be swf-player's fault. I had installed it (on the machine where Galeon now crashes), found out that it does not work, filed a bug report (#319630) and then forgot about it while waiting for a reply from swf-player package maintainer... Now I removed and purged swf-player and all the dependencies that are not useful for any other installed package. But the crash still shows up. So it's not swf-player's fault, I would say. Anyway, installed package lists are fairly different between the two machines. Nonetheless, no difference concerns the packages listed in the Recommends: and Suggests: field of the galeon package...

Yes, I tested with a newly created user on both machines and the results are consistent with the ones I got with old users...
