Package: kmail Version: 4:2.2.2-14.7 Severity: normal I use KMail and Galeon. I've been dragging URLs from KMail into Galeon to avoid Konqueror from popping up, because there wasn't a configuration setting in KMail saying which browser to send URLs to.
I recently realised that the KDEControlCentre might be useful (I don't run KDE) and when I changed the file associations, Galeon did indeed pop up. However: KMail doesn't pass the URL to Galeon - it insists on downloading it and passing the temporary file over. This has two problems: 1. KMail insists on downloading the file before passing it on to Galeon, so instead of getting a website URL in Galeon, I get some random temporary file. I can't see an way to tell KDE that Galeon should be given URLs to handle itself. (With Galeon, I can tell it that a helper application knows about URLs; KDE seems to lack that option.) 2. The running instance of Galeon sometimes doesn't pick up the temporary file before the instance started by KMail returns (having told the running instance about the file given to it by KMail). KMail deletes the file because it thinks Galeon's finished. Issue 2 is a result of issue 1, but could conceivably cause problems for other client/server programs like emacsclient. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux cardinal 2.4.18.20040523 #1 Sat Apr 24 01:30:06 BST 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages kmail depends on: ii kdelibs3 4:2.2.2-13.woody.13 KDE core libraries (runtime files) ii libc6 2.2.5-11.8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0 2.6.6.1-5.2 client library to control the FAM ii libjpeg62 6b-5 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkdenetwork1 4:2.2.2-14.7 Common libraries needed for KDE ne ii libmimelib1 4:2.2.2-14.7 mime libraries needed for some KDE ii libpng2 1.0.12-3.woody.9 PNG library - runtime ii libqt2 3:2.3.1-22 Qt GUI Library (runtime version). ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2 1:2.95.4-11woody1 The GNU stdc++ library ii procmail 3.22-5 Versatile e-mail processor. ii xlibs 4.1.0-16woody5 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.1.4-1.0woody0 compression library - runtime -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
