What is galeon --server ?

Hello,

In then manual I've just found:

-s, --server
              Don't open any windows; instead act as a server for
              quick startup of new Galeon instances


What "instances" means here? Is it just "new windows" or really
instances - a single user will gave several independent galeon
processes running, with separate ~/.galeon/.session_crashed_instance_ID, and
shared bookmark, etc?


best regards

To my knowledge it's just windows etc.  It's similar to the way Windows
starts IE in the background on boot, so that then you ask for it, it
(supposedly) pops up instantly.

In general it slows your machine slightly, but practically it makes galeon
appear a lot more quickly when you ask for it.
