The current code has been changed into the following.  Does it work
better for you?

...
         (process (apply 'start-process
			 (concat "galeon " url) nil
			 browse-url-galeon-program
			 (append
			  browse-url-galeon-arguments
                          (if (browse-url-maybe-new-window new-window)
			      (if browse-url-galeon-new-window-is-tab
				  '("--new-tab")
				'("--new-window" "--noraise"))
                            '("--existing"))
                          (list url)))))
...
