We had a similar problem for GNOME recently, but not on the terminal emulator front, it was with web browsers. Rationale: you don't want to see konqueror launched as the default browser in GNOME but you want GNOME to be integrated with Debian. The www-browser and x-www-browser alternatives provide an useful mean for classing browsers system-wide with a priority. The sensible-browser script is an useful entry point to launch the most suitable browser from the current environment. sensible-browser will use the environment to guess what browser or alternative to launch (browsers in $BROWSER, x-www-browser, www-browser in xterm, www-browser). It is simple to extend this scheme with: - gnome-www-browser for browsers with GNOME support (epiphany-browser, galeon, firefox-gnome-support, ...) - check for $DISPLAY and eg. $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID in sensible-browser to decide to launch gnome-www-browser or default to x-www-browser These changes were commited in galeon and epiphany's SVN, the changes to sensible-browser and to firefox remain to be done. Of course, this could be followed for KDE too. Simon, would this help with the problem you mentionned? Cheers, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Current Earth status: NOT DESTROYED
