I have both geeklog and gallery installed as standalone. I have the problem of not being able to log into gallery without first deleting my cookies. I have found the workaround help file on your site. Questions. should I apply this workaround before intergating geeklog and gallery or will my cookie problem vanish when I have intergrated both programs?

There is a known session cookie issue between Gallery and Geeklog. See previous posts on this site. Both use name@domain.tld as the cookie name. If you integrate Geeklog and Gallery - essentially wrapping gallery inside geeklog and using geeklog authentication, you will not have the issue - as you no longer log directly into gallery. Blaine
