Hi. Thanks for this. I ran 'locate Galeon' and found a few Galeon.desktop files: /home/warwick/.gnome/Debian/Galeon.desktop /home/warwick/.kde/share/applnk/Debian/Galeon.desktop /home/warwick/.wmx/Debian/Galeon /usr/share/oaf/GNOME_Galeon_Automation.oaf /var/lib/gnome/Debian/Apps/Net/Galeon.desktop /var/lib/kde/menu/Net/Galeon.desktop I updated the Exec line for those in my home directory: $ cat .kde/share/applnk/Debian/Galeon.desktop [Desktop Entry] Comment=Galeon Exec=/usr/bin/galeon %u Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/galeon.xpm InitialPreference=2 MimeType=image/png;all/x-url;application/x-url;Application Name=Galeon ServiceTypes= Terminal=false Type=Application and restarted X (to ensure that KDEinit was dead) but no dice. > If you created the command by using the application tree, this would > suggest that the .desktop file installed by Galeon is broken. I did create the association by choosing Galeon from the menu that pops up: Internet->Debian->Galeon. I just tried typing /usr/bin/galeon %u in to the 'enter the name' field and moving that entry to the top of the list, and that now successfully launches Galeon with the URL, but other than the name change I can't see any real difference between the two files, so I don't understand why this one works when the other doesn't, so I'm not sure what to ask the Galeon maintainer to fix - can you advise? $ cat .kde/share/applnk/galeon\ %u.desktop [Desktop Entry] Comment= Exec=/usr/bin/galeon %u Icon=unknown InitialPreference=4 MimeType=text/html;Application Name=galeon %u ServiceTypes= Terminal=false Type=Application Also, is there something I should be using to edit these files, other that Vi? Or something I should run to say 'the files have been updated'?
