I don't think changing the default browser in the capplet isn't good enough. It works, but it requires me to install gnome-control-panel, and that includes the gnome desktop, the gnome panel, nautilus, and a lot of other stuff I'll never use if I use another desktop environment with gnome-terminal.
The update-alternatives functionality is there. I consider it a bug that gnome-terminal disregards x-www-browser or sensible-browser as means to select a browser in the abscence of a browser on gconf. Or actually, the default on gnome should be set to x-www-browser and when you change something in the capplet it changes the x-www-browser symlink, and not gconf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
