Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.30.1-1
Severity: normal
Maybe this is a wishlist item... is it supposed to update-alternatives?
I change my preferred browser to Iceweasel, but:
hed...@maggie:~$ locate www-browser | grep etc | grep -v gz | xargs ls -lah
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 9 16:37 /etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser ->
/usr/bin/epiphany-browser
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Nov 18 2009 /etc/alternatives/www-browser ->
/usr/bin/w3m
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 25 23:46 /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser ->
/usr/bin/epiphany-browser
So a lot of programs still run epiphany when I click links. Epiphany is
cool but I'm not ready to switch, and it's often blocked because it is not
"a supported browser."
If it is not supposed to work that way and broken, could there be
a checkbox to sync /etc/alternatives with gksu?

Yikes! Touchy, aren't we. Uhh, you're the one who brought
up macs and alleged corporate oppression to begin with. I'm
just pointing out that it works both ways.
I care about system-wide defaults because I use other
applications that cannot be expected to integrate with GConf
(like alpine, or K applications, or whatever.) I guess I am
looking for package galternatives.
... back away slowly...
