I don't want to start a relgious war here, but hopful that I can get some recommendations / feedback to help me make a decisions on a CMS based on its Gallery integration. I'm trying to set up an easy to manage site for home that will primarily maintained by my wife, who is a moderately skilled computer user.

While I've used Gallery and even integrated into a couple of CMSs in the past, I'm hoping to avoid hours / days of research and testing to determine the most suitable combination for my requirements.

My requires are, I believe, rather simple. They are:

1) Simple layout that will basically have news/blog, a few custom pages and Gallery.

2) The ability to use a gallery plugin so that only registered users have access to full resolution photos and photo printing. (Anonymous users would only get a lower resolution (640x480, etc) copies of the photos.)

3) Easily editable for blog / "news" updates

4) (Pseudo)WYSIWYG text entry to avoid the need for HTML or custom tag entry.

5) The abilty to host short videos, if possible. (This one can be done as file downloads, so it is not critical)

I've used the nukes, xoops and t3 in the past, as well as tested a few other CMSs. I have also evaluated Drupal's demos, but it seemed to lack the WYSIWYG feature.

Any recommendations?

i recommend WordPress 2.0.9, WPG2 2.0 and Gallery 2.2-rc2 or higher.
if you want WordPress 2.1, you have to use WPG2 2.0.1

sample sites using WPG2 2.0 and Gallery 2.1.2 -
