Well, unfortunately that doesn't work for me. I should be forced into using the Gnome settings daemon just so that I can get my web browser to use the appropriate helper applications that I want. This is really probably my biggest complaint about Epiphany -- It is over-reliant in areas such as this on being a Gnome application, which means that those of us who prefer not to use Gnome have a harder time using it. Are there any other ways to get around me having to run gnome-settings-daemon? -- Michael V.
