If GNOME is installed, PAN uses its browser prefs (which it reads using
libgnome). If it's not, it uses the $BROWSER environmental variable.
I initially merged (Gentoo-speak for installed) libgnome here, as the
Gentoo ebuild for 0.92 (which I initially copied, they don't keep up to
the latest but they had 0.92 and 0.94 and a rename to the current version
is normally all that's required to get it, unless you want to customize
it...) had it listed in deps.
However, I'm a KDE user not a GNOME user, and I don't have the rest of
GNOME merged, so there wasn't a GUI way to set the browser pref anyway.
I could have dug thru a bunch of documentation I suppose, and figured out
how and in what file to put the setting, but it was MUCH easier just to
unmerge libgnome and set the $BROWSER variable as appropriate.
Thanks Duncan,
I too was a KDE user so I never really had any gnome-ish libraries
installed. PAN is one of the only reasons I have what I have. :)
Now I'm pretty much fluxbox only.
Kevin
