reassign libgnome2-0 retitle gnome-open ignores /desktop/gnome/url-handlers thanks
Hey devs, A little experience and poking around has convinced me that I had mis-assigned this bug. The basic issue is that my browser preferences are being ignored by the gnome programs I use. A workaround would be wonderful, as this issue is hard to live with. Details follow: I have expressed my browser choice in the following ways: The ENV var $BROWSER="/home/jasonwoof/bin/default-browser". (This makes sensible-browser behave as I wish.) gnome System -> Preferences -> Preferred Applications -> Internet -> Browser: selected custom, and command set to: /home/jasonwoof/bin/default-browser "%s" gconf-editor /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command set to: /home/jasonwoof/bin/default-browser "%s" And I rebooted. The following programs all open /usr/bin/chromium-browser instead of my browser of choice: gnome-open xdg-open gnome-terminal (right-click -> Open Link) pidgin and many others I'm sure I just noticed today that clicking "mailto:"; links in chromium no longer brings up my e-mail client script that I configured with Preferred Applications. (or any other e-mail program.) I mention this in case it'll help you track down the gnome-open issue.
