I clicked on the freshrpms-release RPM in Galeon, it just prompts me to save it. However once saved, opening it in Nautilus starts up system-install-packages and allows me to install it. Neat. Nice to see this functionality return. Now if you could get it to go direct from the browser to installing packages, you'd really have something. (A vector for malware if you're not careful. Check those GPG sigs...)
