www-browser and x-www-browser are just symbolic links for debians alternatives system. So when a user sets their default browser in Ubuntu or Debian, then it should change the links to point to another browser. On my computer www-browser points to w3m, but if I uninstall w3m (the only text mode browser I have installed) then the link gets removed. x-www-browser works the same way. Therefore, I would suggest that these should be checked for before individual programs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
