No, it's not a browser-level problem.  I'd use xmodmap to map the codes
to keysyms, and use your window manager to bind the keysyms to `galeon
-w url`, where -w will reuse an existing Galeon process and create a new
window with it.  You can also use -x, which would reuse a window.

Hope this helps,

- Chris.
