This doesn't solve the problem. First I can not configure whatever browser I want, I can not tell e.g. update-alternatives --config x-www-browser /usr/local/bin/firefox and if I do update-alternatives --config x-www-browser it says: There is only 1 program which provides x-www-browser (/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox). Nothing to configure. I have several browsers under /usr/local/ which I don't want to mix with the installation from the distribution and I guess I should not go and change the link /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser manually, that is at least as dirty. Anyway, if I use this and sets the browser in gnome->System->Preferences->Preferred Applications to sensible-browser %s then it occasionally tries to start a new browser application from evolution, depending on how I have started the browser before, apart from that it opens the new page in the last opened browser window in the same workspace as I'm running the browser. This is not what I want. I want a new fresh window in the current workplace where I'm running evolution. And for that I now need to go through a custom shell script. > > I had problems printing directly from Firefox/mozilla as well, > > You need Firefox compiled with Xprint support (no problem under Debian). Are you sure? As I remember I could not get it working nicely in debian either after switching to cups. But obviously firefox is not compiled with xprint nowadays (not in the downloads from mozilla.org at least). It seems as firefox expects a printer command which reads from stdin. Now I've found one, lp, which works with Firefox, when I specify lp -d xerox in the printer properties it works fine. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
