You say gimp is using my default browser. Then how exactly is that computed?
I read all of https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/help/ and cannot find the answer. Non of /etc/alternatives point to the browser it ends up using. Not any of gnome-www-browser sensible-browser www-browser x-www-browser are the one it ends up using either. $BROWSER is not consulted either. In file:///usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/en/gimp-pimping.html#gimp-prefs-help "Note that the GIMP help browser is not available on all platforms. If it is missing, this option is hidden and the standard web browser will be used to read the help pages." $ gimp --dump-gimprc|grep brows (help-browser web-browser) /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc: # Sets the browser used by the help system. Possible values are gimp and # web-browser. # (help-browser web-browser) $ strings /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/web-browser : plug-in-web-browser URL to open Henrik Brix Andersen <b...@gimp.org> Opens the given URL in the user specified web browser. Open an URL in the user specified web browser Anyway gimp must have a hidden way of picking which browser it wants. E.g., using it on account 'nobody' will end up with chromium if chromium is installed, despite chromium being not in any alternatives or what any of /usr/bin/* link to.
