Folks, here is my slightly changed default reply to this FAQ on the
evolution mailing list.

Michael: Evolution as a Gnome application will only respect Gnome
settings, regardless of what you change in KDE.

I should write a perl script, that automagically answers this... ;-)


Evolution 1.3.x and Gnome 2.2 desktop:

launch 'gnome-control-center',
 goto: Advanced > Preferred Applications > Web Browser
 set 'Custom Web Browser' Command to: mozilla-remote.sh "%s"
have the attached script in your path


Common answer (Evo 1.2.x):

That's a GNOME setting. For Gnome1 you can use the Gnome Control Center,
for Gnome2 there is no GUI yet:

Check your ~/.gnome/Gnome file. You need something like that:

[URL Handlers]
default-show=gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"

If there are http-show or similar entries, change them, too.


gnome-moz-remote %s
 will only open a new mozilla, when none running
 displays the URL in the current mozilla (old content overwritten)

gnome-moz-remote --newwin %s
 will only open a new mozilla, when none running
 displays the URL in a new mozilla window


I use the following default-show entry:

default-show=/home/guenther/bin/mozilla-remote.sh "%s"

With the attached mozilla-remote.sh script (must be executable) it acts
like the --newwin option, but displays the new URL in a new *tab* if
there is already a mozilla running.

I don't lose the displayed URL and can even click multiple URLs and see
them all in the same mozilla.

If you have a ~/.gnome/gnome-moz-remote file, check it, rename it or
plain delete it. You can change settings there too, although you won't
need it.

Hope that answers all your questions...
